| CNN) -- If Washington wants health care reform with bipartisan support, experts say consider what former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accomplished as governor in Democratic Massachusetts. |

According to Brian Rosman of Health Care for All, a nonprofit based in Massachusetts, the requirements include:
# Minimum benefits, such as preventive care, mental health care and hospitalization
# A ban on gender discrimination
# Limits on total out-of-pocket costs
# A prohibition on pre-existing conditions as a qualifier for health coverage
# No medical underwriting, so insurers can't ask an individual about his or her health status in order to determine coverage
# Limits on age restrictions, which means what is charged for an older individual cannot be more than double what is charged the youngest.
Analysts say "Romney care" is basically "Obama care" minus the public option. |
