The difference is that in Massachusetts it was constitutional and it is what the people wanted.
At the Federal level it is unconstitutional and the majority did not want it.
The point is that Romney is not without compassion and worked within the letter of the MA constitution as well as the US constitution.
How does a mandate that forces a man to surrender some of his liberty and some of his property in purchasing a government-approved health-insurance policy comport with the natural rights to liberty and property expressly protected by the Massachusetts Constitution?
The people of mASS got what they wanted and deserved. Romney should say “they will be bankrupt at their own fault and he does not want that for the RED states. The BLUE states can eat each orher and go to Hell. The RED states can eat what they want even if Moochelle objects!” If Romney said that it would help him, but I think he will not.

Where in the constitution of Massachusetts that John Adams wrote where it justifies the state forcing individuals to purchase services from a private entity?
Fact is, RomneyCare was just as unprecedented for States as it was for the Federal government. Don’t buy the Romney BS spin for their crimes against humanity.
And as for people “wanting it.” Keep in mind Romney and his cohorts in that state lied about what it would do, but now they can’t get rid of it because, like the mob, once you’re in too deep they won’t let you out. Romney still lies about it, claiming it worked. He keeps saying that he insured everybody. That’s BS. Just as many people were uninsured after the law as they were before, though there were lots more of “legitimate” moochers. He argued they were living off the system by getting free health care by showing up in the emergency rooms and things like that. So now he just pays for their healthcare entirely, and the people who were already paying are now FORCED to pay for levels of insurance dictated by the State paying hundreds of dollars more just based on their tax bracket.
It’s socialism but with the capitalist veneer. Hmmm, similar to how the Nazis sold Fascism.
