Its pretty much knowledge now that Romney’s health care plan in MA has been seriously compromised by the liberal governor now running the state.
Which is why electing a liberal like Juan McAztlan means we will get screwier programs than we had under Jorge Boosh
What is Juan McAztlan’s health care plan? Free health care for illegals? Wait we already have that....how about more free health care for illegals?
And McCain is not lying? Or maybe Juan McCain really is Ronald Reagan reincarnate.
I was surprised he talked about it so much, so the idea that he doesn’t talk about it is wrong.
Romney’s mistake was to take so much credit for the final product, given how badly the democrats damaged it. Frankly, I don’t think he understood exactly how badly they screwed it up, but he does now.
Fortunately, he’s clearly said that isn’t his plan for President. His plan as President is a good one, which will allow states to experiment and screw themselves over if they like, and the nation will benefit from testing different theories to see what works before we adopt some disastrous Hillary plan.
I beg to differ:
Romney’s Massachusetts plan is not a “complete disaster” because the damage it has done and is doing is limited to one state, a state whose citizens have shown themselves time after time to be very tolerant of the most colossal government screw ups.
“Disaster” would be to have attempted to implement this plan or one like it on a national scale, as Shrillary wants.
The opportunity here, for Gov. Romney, is to come out and say, “OK, we screwed up! It was a bad idea, here’s why, and we won’t make a mistake like that again!”
But can you see him doing it?
Well if it is identical to Hillarycare then he has no weakness as far as campaigning goes. If the media make healthcare an issue, he can say he has experience in implementing what Hillary merely proposes and has no experience with. And if the media want to say his program sucks, well then that doesn’t really help Hillary’s campaign for health care if it’s the same program.
Government managed markets have never worked. They are not working, now. And, they won’t work under plans such as these.
The government needs to get the hell out of healthcare, completely. The dramatic increases in health care costs didn’t start until the feds got involved back in the late 1950’s and 1960’s.
Time for a return to constitutional mandates...
Bump.
If that's true, then this is an unmitigated disaster but not unexpected with socialized medicine. I wonder where the author got that figure from?
MA was supposed to be the perfect storm for universal care; a small population overall and a very small uninsured population, a high percentage of government employees already receiving coverage, liberal voters ....
In short, a mini-Canada.
If it doesn't work here, how in the hell will it work in California?
If this Liberal is around in July, he will be yelling from the high heavens that he is the NEW REAGAN.
Having said that, strategically, it is better if he knocks off McCain in CA--it's all very confusing...
Romney can keep his communist, liberal Hildabeast care. The only one we sadly have left to vote for is *gulp* Huckabee, but he’s a dang sight better than the other two. I will never vote for Romney. At least Huckabee has never been pro-abortion, Myth Romney’s plan even PAID for abortions.
Just look at how low we've sunk. We are now reduced to arguing over which one is less awful -- and getting angry with each other about it!
This is bad.
Bears Repeating...
“Dismal Failure”
Some of us think the border and free speech are big issues. We're not enthused about Romney, but do not want the party destroyed by a crazy old man who hates conservatives and conservatism.
Mitt is a Corporate mouth piece, from the same Country club as Teddy K. and J. Kerry.
McCain 2008
Both Obama and Hillary love RomneyCare
They wrote Universal health care proposals like RINO Romney’s
Is it any mystery why US Senator Teddy Kennedy was in Boston and standing right next to RINO Romney when he signed the health bill ???
Baloney.
His health care plan was fine as devised and ruined by his successors who tacked on extra perks.
John McCain is a twisted, grotesque characture of a candidate - vicious, duplicitous, back stabbing and manipulative, his campaign tacitcs - like his political philosophies - are more akin to the Democrats with whom he has connived shamelessly the past eight to fustrate a Repubulican agenda in COngress.
He neither deserves to be elected President, nor shall he ever get elected President - Hillary OR Obama will easily trounch this major media stool pigeon in any debate. And he will lose conservative support in the process.
He is neither a Republican nor a conservative. He’s a stealth Democrat.

Those who are successes learn from their mistakes and move on to improve the process. One failure means a step closer to success.
