Harvard Professors Criticize AFSCME for Misrepresenting Barack Obama’s Health Care Plan

(h/t The Daily Background)

Professors David Cutler and David Blumenthal of Harvard University write:

“The AFSCME website contains factually inaccurate information concerning Barack Obama’s health care proposal and misrepresents the likely effects of his plan to provide health care coverage for all Americans. Obama’s proposal is the most comprehensive and aggressive of any candidate running for President, Democrat or Republican. In this critical period, Americans should be getting the straight facts about their candidates’ health care positions, not misleading attacks that obscure the reality that all Democratic candidates are united in their commitment to protecting all Americans against the cost of illness.”
