To borrow/adopt a line from Nancy Pelosi regarding healthcare reform legislation - we'll have to elect Romney first - then we'll see how he can fix it.:rofl:
Zefram said:Romney himself has made this claim and I'm still wondering what secret knowledge he's supposed to have that isn't available to others, including the folks who designed and implemented the Massachusetts reforms and are involved in implementing the ACA (like Jonathan Gruber, a key architect and evaluator of both laws, or Jon Kingsdale, who ran the Connector). Of course, it's not as if the ACA is a carbon copy of the Massachusetts law, beyond the coverage pieces being thematically similar. It borrows pieces from several states that had tried various reforms (e.g. the SHOP exchanges for small businesses are lifted from Utah, the Basic Health option is a hat tip to Washington).
In fact, the biggest complaint against the Massachusetts law is that it didn't contain much of any cost controls (payment or delivery system reforms). The ACA, on the other hand, has lots of these sorts of things, which is why it was a significantly longer piece of legislation than the Massachusetts law. Is Romney the right person to implement those?
The "New Twist on Obama Unemployment Prediction" refers to a new method of predicting unemployment rates during former President Obama's term in office. This method takes into account additional factors such as economic policies and external events that may impact unemployment rates.
The accuracy of this new prediction method has not been fully tested yet, as it is a relatively new approach. However, initial results have shown that it can provide more nuanced and accurate predictions compared to traditional methods.
This new prediction method was developed by a team of economists and data scientists who were interested in finding a more comprehensive way to predict unemployment rates during Obama's presidency. The team includes experts from various backgrounds and institutions.
This new prediction method takes into account a wider range of factors, such as economic policies and external events, that may impact unemployment rates. It also uses advanced data analysis techniques to make more accurate predictions.
While this new prediction method was specifically developed for Obama's presidency, it can potentially be adapted and applied to other time periods or countries. However, further research and testing would be needed to determine its effectiveness in different contexts.
