“Obamacare” and “Romneycare”

October 25, 2011 By mjonas

Is “Obamacare” the son of “Romneycare”?

The newest installment of CommonWealth magazine’s “Face to Face” video conversations features two of the people best qualified to discuss that topic, which continues to be one of the most persistent questions Mitt Romney faces on the campaign trail.

We asked Tim Murphy, who was Romney’s secretary of health and human services and the point-man for the administration in crafting the 2006 Massachusetts law, to talk this question over with John McDonough, who was then director of Health Care for All, the state’s leading health care advocacy group, and went on to serve as top policy adviser to Ted Kennedy’s US Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions, where early work on the national law took place.

Check out their conversation here.
