WTF?
GEt rid of this guy!
Mass healthcare is now NOT working out!
He’s toast. Having the feds copy Romenycare is a recipe for totalitarianism.

Time for the Michael Corleone to Fredo line...
Add Romney’s stance on wanting a comprehensive immigration reform bill and you’ve got a disaster. Hey Mitt how about enforcing our existing immigration laws.
This is where Romney care, Hillary care and Obama care are all alike and another tax.
Slick Willard is proud of his Socialist budget-buster. Imagine dat.
Is Romney seeking the Dem. nomination in 2012? I did not know he was running against Hussien in the primaries.
Plus, Mitt is the one who let the gay genie out of the closet (bottle) in Mass. You are TOAST Mitt anywhere right of center! You make McLame look like Reagan!!
Methinks the FR Romney-bots will be ostentatiously silent on this thread.
This seems too good to be true. That's just over $200 a person per year.
And to think there are a lot of conservatives, esp. here in Michigan, that drool over this shyster.
F Romney and the socialist horse he’s riding!
Rebellion is brewing!!
DONT TREAD ON ME!!
His opinion sure doesn’t match the opinion of the articles I’ve read on the program.
It's not hard to get everybody to have insurance, if you pass a law that requires them to have insurance, and fines them the cost of insurance if they don't.
I'm glad they did this in Mass., because we can look at the results and see that providing everybody health insurance drives up health care costs -- something that should be obvious, something that even Romney notes, but which seems to be ignored by the media.
You can either provide everybody health insurance, or you can cut costs. You can't really do both unless you force everybody into a single-payer system run by the Government, and then ration health care.
We could significantly trim health care costs if we made it illegal to have health insurance for anything but catastrophic care. Then everybody would have to pay out of pocket, so doctors would have to compete for dollars.
If we had a national food insurance program, a Big Mac meal would have a $20 co-pay and you would have to schedule it a week in advance and wait 30 minutes when you got there.

Only 10% of Bay State voters say the quality of health care has gotten better as a result of the reform plan while 29% say it has gotten worse. Most (53%) say the quality of care has not changed.
As for cost, 21% say the reform has made health care more affordable in Massachusetts. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say health care is now less affordable while 44% see no change.
Massachusetts: 26% Consider State’s Health Care Reform a Success
the term “RINO” is overused, I am guilty of that myself. Romney however, should be considered a SUPER RINO!
Is this butthead still around?
He is helping to draw a very visible line between the RINOs and the conservatives, like Palin.
The more the RINOs box themselves in (with the leftists), the better it is for us and the country.
So this is the guy the GOP is rallying around. They have deserted Sarah Palin and want this guy to be the guy we are supposed to embrace..Ok I get it..I see nothing has changed in the GOP, same ol BS..if Romney is the GOP Nominee in 2012 I am gonna stay home. People can vote for whoever they want, I don’t care, but I won’t vote for this guy. He is the White Obama as far as I’m concerned
O.M.G! (That would be Romney, he is a God [in his own mind]).
[Romney Gives Mass. Health Reform An ‘A’ ]
This ought to finally sink him as a Repub candidate. How long will it take for the apologists to show up saying “Mitt has soooo much better credentials in business!”
He’s a modern republican in the image of his opponent... call him Marxist Lite. It’s what the neo-rino’s do best.
The GOP had the house, the senate, the court and the white house and pissed it away. Now, trying that same successful logic, this clown goes Zero Lite.
Lovely. Nope, sorry kids. You hold your nose to vote, it STILL STINKS! The GOP needs an enema, or this republic is doomed.
True, since it has been made clear to us climate heritics that the government does indeed have the power to alter the world's climate, it should be child's play for them to change the laws of economics and the marketplace.
"For middle-income people not qualifying for state-subsidized health insurance, costs are too high for even skimpy coverage. For an individual earning $31,213, the cheapest plan can cost $9,872 in premiums and out-of-pocket payments."
and
"Low-income residents, previously eligible for free care, have insurance policies requiring unaffordable copayments for office visits and medications."
and
"High-deductible plans that have additional out-of-pocket expenses can result in many people not using their insurance when they are sick."
and
"Spending for the Commonwealth Care subsidized program has doubled, from $630 million in 2007 to an estimated $1.3 billion for 2009, which is not sustainable."
If the GOP gives us Mitt in 2012, I won't vote for him.
I am not actually one of the anti-Romneys, but if he doesn’t realize what a failure this mess in Mass is, that will surely change.
And it looks like he is not getting it.
It's not hard.
Kill the old, the infirm, the newborns who are sick, and raise everybody's taxes.
Problem solved!
WHO YA GONNA CALL!!!!!!
Oh no, not Romney again! What a desperate loser. All the money in the world and he still got his ass handed to him by Chuckabee and McLame.
Romney’s a glutton for punishment because Palin is gonna stomp him real good...
Go away Romney! You’re not wanted here!
I’m surprised that any so-called conservatives can even stomach this guy. After this, I would doubt if even his Utah fan base would support him.
Health insurance does not equal medical care
THAT is exactly why he will NEVER be President. Socialism is Socialism, where ever it rears its ugly head! Today it's healthcare, tomorrow it will be cap/trade. He cannot be trusted to do the right thing!
I hope NOT to ever read another pro Romney remark again here at FR. The guy is in the wrong Political Party.
I will never ever ever vote for a socialist. Ever. The thought of a republican nominee being for socialized medicine should be a non-starter for anyone who calls himself a conservative.
Eat my shorts, Romney!
Palin/Bachmann 2012
Fool me once (McLame), shame on you
Fool me twice (0Romney), shame on me.
I WILL NOT BE FOOLED TWICE !!!!
GET THE MESSAGE YET ????
Does anyone on Free Republic still think Romney is a conservative?
Per our conversation...
What a flip-flop guy.
There are only two real answers to healthcare. Deny it to anyone that cannot afford it or provide it to everyone. There isn’t really any other option.. the costs of the people that don’t pay at all burden the rest of us. So force them to pay or deny it to them.
Personally I would take forcing them to pay.. but I’m sure others would prefer killing them all.
...and this is why he cannot be the GOP nominee or President. He’s a flake and a liberal socialist establishment.
How to pay for it is just as easy, lease out the off shore and ANWAR rights to oil companies and take part of the revenue (like a private land owner would) and not only would it pay for insurance, it would lower the HELL out of gas prices, end dependence on Arab oil and would be a boom in the US economy.
The Left likes to point out that Government spending during WWII ended the depression, but what they miss is that FDR didn't go create tank, aircraft and munitions companies, they became customers. 0bama and the left want to create State companies because they love socialism.
““Some people say. ‘Oh, it’s expensive,’ but actually, it cost less than two percent of the state budget.””
From what I have heard, it has morphed into the beast that ate the budget and is now about TEN TIMES as much as it was just 3 or 4 years ago. And it’s going UP next year!
If the Republicans put this moron up for President in 2012, I’m out for good. If this jacka** gets the nomination, I’m forever going to flip the bird to the Republican party.
This idiot is nothing more than McCain with a greasier haircut.
He gives his useless health insurance mandate an A? I thought Mormons didn’t drink. Mitt needs to get off the sauce and stay sober.
Power and control will intoxicate you to the point where your senses no longer are in touch with reality.
