Romney’s Sick Joke | Paul Krugman, New York Times

Mitt Romney’s empty promises about health-care coverage

Mitt Romney said his health-care plan covers pre-existing conditions. But his answer on this issue, writes Paul Krugman, was the biggest of many misleading or dishonest claims he made during Wednesday’s debate.

Krugman writes:

What Mr. Romney did in the debate, in other words, was, at best, to play a word game with voters, pretending to offer something substantive for the uninsured while actually offering nothing. For all practical purposes, he simply lied about what his policy proposals would do.
