So let's see, Gov. Romney's plan is going to help me by deciding that my health care insurance isn't good enough, forcing me to spend even more money on a health care plan that some bureaucrats think I need, rather than what I think I need.

That seems to be the same kind of proposal most socialists make. The people don't know what's good for them, so they need us to dictate to them.

What next. Will the RomneyCare bureacrats decide that what I am eating is unhealthy and start dictating to me what to eat?

No, deebee1, you seem to be woefully uninformed about the plan. Perhaps you should actually read it before going off on silly rants.

Contrary to what you think, it's not all about you. It's about the thousands of freeloaders who somehow have enough money to buy cell phones for each family member, 45 inch TVs, MP3 players, SUVs etc, but when a medical emergency hits they leave the hospitals, and, ultimately us, holding the bills. Why? Because they can.

It's about personal responsibility which seems to be a vanishing commodity around here -- even though a traditional conservative principle.

Romney's plan doesn't force you to buy any health insurance plan some bureaucrat thinks you need. On the contrary, you have the option to maintain Health Savings Accounts or demonstrate an ability to pay for you own medical care instead of forcing me and the other taxpayers to pay the consequences for your irresponsibility in higher premiums or closed hospitals.

You are never going to get the government completely out of the system, but this plan goes a long way to doing just that by putting the onus on private citizens to plan ahead. Romney believes that by expanding and deregulating the private health insurance market, we can decrease costs and ensure that more Americans have access to affordable, portable, quality, private health insurance. No more excuses.

One way or the other, someone is forced to pay the bill. Most people would prefer it be the person who actually receives the care -- not the taxpayers.

I like that quote from Ben, but in this case Mark's quote is more appropos. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.-- Mark Twain
