Report: Mitt Romney Plan to Leave 72M Uninsured

A new report was issued by the Commonwealth Fund, indicating Mitt Romney's plan would make the uninsured problem in the United States worse than it was before Obamacare was enacted. Two primary reasons cited for this is the conversion of Medicaid into a block grant program and the expansion of Medicaid that would occur under the ACA.

The article does mention that the Commonwealth Fund tends to issue reports that portray the ACA in a favorable light, so perhaps the numbers can be taken with a grain of salt. However, leading up to the election, it will be interesting to see if this report might have an effect in shaping public opinion.
