[New York Times Editorial] A muddled political response from the right

The future of the health care system is now back where it should be, out of the hands of judges and into those of voters. With the constitutional question about President Obama¡¯s health care law now settled, the public will have a chance to examine Mitt Romney¡¯s claims that it is terrible for the country. Based on his remarks on Thursday, they will not have much to go on
 
Mr. Romney¡¯s speech was clearly not the one he wanted to give, and it showed. He stumbled by reminding people that the Supreme Court did not proclaim the law to be a good one, implying the constitutional question was a minor issue. The court¡¯s role, of course, is not to judge the wisdom of the laws that Congress passes, as much as Mr. Romney might wish it had. 
 
Because the Supreme Court did not repeal the law, Mr. Romney vowed to do so himself on his first day as president, a vow that will be impossible to fulfill, not just on his first day, but ever if he cannot round up 60 votes in the Senate. Otherwise the heath care law will stay on the books, and as much as he may try to defund it or ignore it, he will have taken an oath to uphold it. Even if he should succeed in a repeal, he has provided very little information on the kind of law he would put in its place.
 
Will he try to provide health care for the nearly 50 million people who are now uninsured, 30 million of whom would have health coverage under President Obama¡¯s law? They went unmentioned in Mr. Romney¡¯s speech, as they almost always do when he is on the stump, except in a vague, indirect reference: ¡°We also have to assure that we do our very best to help each state in their efforts to assure that every American has access to affordable health care.¡±
 
Not a word, however, on how he will do that, particularly given his plan to severely cut Medicaid and other aid to states, as part of the budget proposed by Representative Paul Ryan, a Republican of Wisconsin, which he has embraced. Far from helping states, those cutbacks would make it more difficult for states to offer insurance or basic care to the poor and the uninsured. If anything, his Web site, which is supposed to provide such details, is even worse, promising only to give states ¡°the incentive and the flexibility to experiment.¡± That¡¯s hardly reassuring given the abysmal record of many states on health care coverage.   
 
Much of what he said was flatly wrong. The law does not add ¡°trillions to our deficits and to our national debt.¡± It lowers the deficit, as the Congressional Budget Office has repeatedly noted. It does not keep businesses from hiring and will not cause 20 million Americans to lose their insurance.
 
As Mr. Obama noted in his response Thursday, those who have insurance will be able to keep it. The president does not talk often about the details of his own law. But his comments are a good reminder of how it will serve all Americans and a vital response to Mr. Romney¡¯s tired recitation of economic doom. 
 
The indifference of voters to Mr. Romney¡¯s prior support for health reform when he was governor of Massachusetts won¡¯t last if he refuses to produce a serious plan of his own.
