I'd like to address this specifically, confessing I don't truly understand how that could be. Romney was busy giving lefty Massachusetts more or less what it had asked for. Obama didn't then proceed to beam into Massachusetts and give them more; he wished these kinds of things, largely extra-constitutionally (meaning outside the constitution) on the entire Ewe Essay, under the cover of a party-owned Senate which would never, ever be willing to convict him under an impeachment. Massachusetts didn't play any role in making any of the other 49 more willing to dork around with such things, as far as I can see.
And to call Romney a "last hope" mischaracterizes what is under consideration and debate here. He's a smaller hole in the boat than Obama. Given that bailers are needed no matter what, why not at least make their job less difficult. Give the real "last hopes" a better chance.
B/S. RomneyCare was Romney’s brainchild. He still brags about it today!! Blinded by a socialist saviour is no way to go through life.
Looks like you hit the bridge too far with Mr. Jim and ran his patience out, ‘coon.
It’s well documented that Mitt bragged about Romneycare, that it ought to be a pattern for the rest of the country. If the other 49 (or even a lot of them) followed suit, this would of course kill the golden goose of American medical care, a golden goose that was not just enriching America but the whole world.
It’s also true that once Obamacare became Federal law, Mitt soon condemned it. I think he recognized a Frankenstein’s monster when one was created. But he’s never apologized for Massachusetts. Who knows what his alternate plan might be, and he’s been hinting about one. It wouldn’t help a whole lot to abolish Obamacare only to put in place some ungodly Federal incentive for states to mimic Romneycare.
