A politician simply can't implement a pervasive, taxpayer supported health care system and expect to continue to mascaraed as a conservative.
That is what we have now with Medicare, Medicaid and the subsidized ER. In California 9 hospitals have gone bankrupt because of it. And Romney had nothing to do with it. Romney tried to do away with the subsidized ER care. For that he is labeled a liberal. I get the impression some people believe in leaving the ER system as is and calling it conservatism.
In California 9 hospitals have gone bankrupt because of ... unregulated immigration and the federal appellate.
No, governor Romney had nothing to do with these federal fiascoes. He did, however, sponsor similar contrivances, requiring equally few qualifications, at the state level in Massachusetts. Romney was the progenitor of one of the largest redistributions of wealth in Massachusetts.
