Mitt was right in regard to that it was a State issue and not a federal. I don’t see why we cannot have the States come up with their solutions to the “health care” crisis rather than the feds. Probably the reason is that if a State were socialize healthcare, there would be alot of flight from patients and doctors. The socialists know this and want to force it on everybody, and creep their way into a totalitarian system by slowly adding strings to one’s receipt of health care.
The Libs used MA has a test case for institutionalizing it nationally. On that basis alone he should have opposed it.
Either Romney was duped about their intent or he was fine with his state being a vehicle to force it on everyone nationally.
Sometimes it’s just not so simple as “state rights”. Ex. D.C. was used as a test case for charter schools. Soon as the Dems could they shut it down. They understood its success was setting a stage for introducing it via the federal government.
It might have helped Romney if he had made this argument back in ‘08, but he didn’t. He wanted to use his program in Taxachusetts as a model for a federal plan. He also has failed to make the argument that he was trying to limit the damage that would be done by the socialists in MA. Instead, he still brags about MassCare. I wished he had read the constitution back in ‘08, and I’m still hoping he’ll peruse it some time, soon.
That is exactly what happened in Massachusetts. People leave the state for healthcare. Doctors leave the state to practice and everyone is forced to buy commie health insurance whether they want it or not.
Just because it’s “up to the state” doesn’t excuse the fact that it’s fascist.
