...compare the two healthcare systems without isolating one specific cause for the differences. Himmelstein, however, said the results indicated that universal insurance was preferable, although he remains skeptical about Massachusetts’ universal coverage scheme. “It’s a disastrous plan that I guess Romney thinks he can run for President on,” he said, adding that he thinks the system of compulsory insurance will be expensive for those who will have to pay, and inadequate for those whose insurance will be subsidized.

The only way that real change - a universal health-care system (along the lines enacted by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts), a real alternative energy plan, progressivity in taxation and entitlement reform, a cooperative non-toxic foreign policy-will come is through coalitions built from the center out. And those coalitions will only flourish in a public atmosphere of civility, humanity and compromise...
