Krugman Disses Obama
Barack Obama's health plan will fall well short of universal coverage according to an editorial by New York Times columnist Paul (you-veel-buy-zee-insurance) Krugman. Why? Obama's plan doesn't have enough coercion. Obama has a counter. Since the entire "universal coverage" discussion is about form over substance and rhetoric over reality, President Obama can sign an Executive Order just declaring that the current system (or any variation of it) is universal coverage. Voilà!
