Mitt Romney: Barack Obama Sometimess Calls Me the GrandFather Of ObamaCare
YouTube ^ | 9/19/2012 | YouTube

"I have experience in health care reform. Now and then the president says I'm the grandfather of Obamacare. I don't think he meant that as a compliment but I'll take it. This was during my primary, we thought it might not be helpful. But, um, I've actually been able to put in place a system that fit the needs of the people of my state, and I'm proud of the fact that in my state, after our plan was put in place, every child has insurance, 98 percent of adults have insurance, but we didn't have to cut Medicare by $716 billion to do that."

Were the Doctors any good or medical services high priority for patients?

Mitt, some advice.

When someone asks you about Romneycare, here is a stock response that will work every time

“I passed healthcare reform for my state, the people of Massachusetts can get rid of it whenever they want to. The people of the wider United States have made clear they do not want Obamacare, and I intend to repeal it by granting individual state waivers as soon as I’m elected.”

There. That’s it. Say that, and then shut your mouth.

I feel about this jerk the way I felt about McCain. I’ll vote for him and hope he wins, but I’ll be pissed at him before he’s even sworn in.

Is Romney saying he takes the title GrandFather of Obamacare as a compliment? or does Romney mean he accepts the title? Or Both? Romney please send updated talking points to Romney’s team! America does not want Obamacare.

I have relatives living in Peabody by Boston. They are can’t-imagine-anything-else Democrats. They finally realize that Obamacare is, in fact, Romneycare they are talking about voting for Romney, not to get the original for the country but in the hope that Congress under Romney will dump the evil thing and not reinstate it.

Electing Romney will be replacing a bolshevik with a socialist manager. Being a successful businessman does not equate to competence or even knowledge of Economics. It does give many successful businessmen the idea that any organization can be efficient if managed well, including a total government.

And, this is exactly the reason that Romney has backed away from his earlier pledge to repeal ZeroCare.

Because of RomneyCare's influence on ZeroCare, Romney's ego is at stake!!

He first said he would issue vouchers than he said he would repeal it, next was he would repeal and replace it. I think what we will get is a name change RomneyCare sounds so much better. I also have relatives in Ma. Not only have their premiums gone up, their copay has gone up and they are having longer waits for referals. But can’t say we were not warned.

Seriously??? He actually said this??? I’m beginning to think he’s some kind of Dimocrat plant. What a train wreck.

Replacing an incompetent socialist with a competent socialist.

What could possibly go wrong?
