Prescription for the economy
Health care reform can be an engine of job growth, Jonathan Gruber, a professor of economics at MIT and a board member of the Massachusetts Health Insurance Connector Authority, writes in today's New York Times.
"Given the present need to address the economic crisis, many people say the government cannot afford a big investment in health care, that these plans are going nowhere fast," he writes. "But this represents a false choice, because health care reform is good for our economy."
