Econ. prof. is signatory on health care reform letter to Obama

By JOY CHEN | November 18, 2009

Dartmouth economics professor Jonathan Skinner joined 22 other economists in sending a letter to President Barack Obama on Tuesday lauding several provisions included in the Senate Finance Committee's version of the health care bill that they said could "lower health care costs and help reduce deficits over the long term." Obama referenced the letter in a statement on Wednesday. The economists aimed to "encourage the Senate to keep some of the cost control of the bill in place," Harvard University School of Public Health professor Meredith Rosenthal, one of the signatories on the letter, said in an interview with The Dartmouth. In the letter, the economists recommended a tax on high-cost insurance plans and the creation of an independent Medicare commission.
