Same spin I have seen from all the Romneyites. Ignores history and the base of the problem, over regulation which has been used to by the left to slowly take over health care over the past few decades and get it out of the the hands of the charity hospitals that have provided truly universal health care since the days of Constantine as well as the fact the plan even if left intact with no outside influence had conservative issues.

On it's face the Heritage plan was an interesting attempt at a Conservative approach to the issue, but it still left too much in the hands of government and did involve mandates. It also addressed nothing in the way of reducing operating costs and regulations, the true issue in the current medical care crisis.

In real world practice, as we have already seen demonstrated in MA, the Heritage plan was an opening for abuse from the left. It should never have been tried and a conservative would have known better, as proven in the fact that no one else has pulled the idea off the shelf and into reality.
