Low income people were already subsidized. It's called medicade. Romney's plan adds a subsidy for people who don't qualify for medicade, but it phases out quickly. The increase in subsidies from this plan are minimal
with all kinds of strings attached,
Actually, the Romney plan decreased the number of strings attached by reducing the state requirements on coverage.
Subsidized by the goobermint, with all kinds of strings attached, so in effect it is goobermint controlled from top to bottom while in the private sector, which is the very definition of facism.
By that definition, the pre-Romney system was even more facist than Romney's plan.
That's the clever rhetorical trick available to 'extremists', who look at everything in absolute terms. Yes, relative to 1776, we are a fascist, communist, & socialist government, but we don't get back to where we were overnight.
In absolutist logic, President Bush is the biggest fiscal liberal in the history of mankind as well as a statist fascist, but the real question is, would Gore or Kerry have been better options? I'm certain they would not have.
Many here think they're more effective in going negative on 'liberals' than actually being positive about a candidate.
