[Utmost Certainty]

Roll the clock back far enough, and Santorum was also for individual and employer mandates.

Anyway, I don't really care what a person's position on an issue was years ago if they've since changed their mind in a consistent transition, so it's petty to lob accusations about that—it should be expected that a person's opinions on issues will evolve when faced with new facts, given that nobody is omniscient. It's people that are completely intransigent or flippant in their opinions that are worrisome.

I'm more interested in what their current proposals to addressing healthcare cost problems are. Does Rick really think HSAs are the end-all, be-all answer to this?

You should when that person is traveling the nation claiming he was never for such a thing, that's he's pure on the issue, and the he's "honest" with the American people about it as Santorum claimed as recently as his Michigan concession speech.

It's about character and when you have built your whole campaign mythology around your moral character, it matters.
