Romney: “there are a number of things that I like in healthcare reform that I’m going to put in place”
MITT ROMNEY: We’re going to replace Obamacare. And I’m replacing it with my own plan. And even in Massachusetts when I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people.
DAVID GREGORY: So you’d keep that part of the federal plan?
MITT ROMNEY: Well, I’m not getting rid of all of healthcare reform. Of course there are a number of things that I like in healthcare reform that I’m going to put in place. One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their family up to whatever age they might like. I also want individuals to be able to buy insurance, health insurance, on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company.
Even if his policy proposals all had the wisdom of Solomon and the brilliance of Einstein, someone needs to tell Mitt that just because he is poised to replace Emperor Barack, that he does not become Emperor Mitt. I don’t know how they do it in Mass. but the US Constitution does not provide for Mitt feeding a bill to Congress.
