Is Romney Lying about Health Care? You Decide.

Ed Kilgore at the Washington Monthly's Political Animal blog has an excellent post, Disguising "Repeal and Reverse".  He points out that despite what Mitt Romney keeps saying about his plans to "repeal and replace" ObamaCare (aka the Affordable Care Act), there is no "replace" in sight.  Romney is offering at most a return to the laws that existed before the act was passed - including the ability of insurers to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.  You have to "read the fine print" to figure out what he's actually supporting - including the "Ryan budget" which will shred what's left of the "safety net" many of us count on.

To quote Kilgore:

...it’s important to understand the GOP’s agenda for health care is not “repeal and replace,” or even “repeal and do nothing”—it’s “repeal and reverse,” and a cruel trick on anyone looking for genuine reform.
