I guess using the police power of the State to force people to buy insurance from private insurers can be called “free market.” And of course there’s free choice involved—you can either do as the government tells you, or suffer the consequences.
Everybody in this country has “Health Care”! You get sick/injured you go to the hospital and get served. You then pay for the services or someone else pays (the government etc). Every one of the more than 12 million illegals know this. Why can’t the rest of the Americans figure it out? No one can be turned away...its the law.
Oh How Convenient - for some reason you forgot to post the article from Sally Pipes that discusses what a socialistic Disaster Romneycare is. I’ll provide the link for you,
I just hope you never hold your hands out to the side when you spin like this, you’ll helicopter into space.

And yet she wrote an article promoting him? Oh, wait..

From the Washington Times, 4/6/06:
The Massachusetts health care plan "is a Frankenstein's monster of tax penalties, expanded government-insurance programs and unfunded mandates," a Times editorial states. According to the editorial, the "fault of this bill is that it really isn't 'consumer-driven' at all," but "[p]erhaps the biggest laugher here is that we're somehow supposed to be impressed with ... Romney's observation that the bill simply applies the state's auto-insurance thinking to medical care." The editorial adds, "The state's auto insurance market is an overregulated nightmare. It's so bad that even Geico and Progressive don't offer plans in Massachusetts. A lizard would choke on it."
There are good parts and not such good parts to the bill that was passed. He's freely admitted that. He is not interested in pursuing anything like that nationally. He's freely admiited that as well.
Are people being deliberately disingenuous or are they truly uninformed when they act like they don't know that? Hmmm.....
If people want to become informed as to Mittt’s actual proposals, they can go to Mitt’s website and see the plan he is proposing --> Health Care Briefing. It looks more like the original plan he proposed in Massachusetts BEFORE it was altered.
Further, it's important to note that the only thing that saved the citizens of Massachusetts from Hillarycare -—outright socialized medicine —- was Mitt. He brokered the best compromise a conservative could hope for in that ultra liberal state.
Americans want health care reform and they want it NOW. If you don’t want Hillarycare — you better come up with a plan. Which Mitt did. In a more conservative setting, his proposed reforms will work out even better.
Republicans are downright stupid if they think they can ignore this issue. Mitt is not stupid. He realizes the Mass plan is not perfect. He said he’s waiting for other states -— especially more conservative ones -— to put forward their own plans and see what happens. He’s admitted there is room for improvement.
Romney is coming up with innovative ideas and free-market alternatives to the European-leaning solutions the libs are offering. Romney gets it. Others, apparently, do not
Already posted. And as I pointed out on the other thread, the writer of this article is Romney’s chief of propaganda.
“Sally Canfield is Policy Director of the Romney for President campaign.”
That’s the disclosure at the bottom of the article. Google her if you want to know more.
She's no relation to Daniel Pipes. But she is married to Charles R. Kesler, who also writes about politics.
