Confirmed: Romneycare = Obamacare

The Beacon Hill Institute study found that, on average, Romneycare:

•    cost the Bay State 18,313 jobs;

•    drove up total health insurance costs in Massachusetts by $4.311 billion;

•    slowed the growth of disposable income per person by $376; and

•    reduced investment in Massachusetts by $25.06 million.

And remember that RomneyCare relied on FedGovCare as a sturdy crutch: “He also noted the state’s health-care costs have been heavily subsidized by billions of dollars in federal aid through a Medicaid waiver program.”

"I bet you $10,000 that my utterly
mindless maid, here, absolutely supports RomneyCARE AND deathpanels,
and especially the fact that Romneycare cost the Bay State 18,313 jobs;
drove up total health insurance costs in Massachusetts by $4.311 billion;
collapsed disposable income per person by $376; and
even reduced investment in Massachusetts by $25.06 million,
and the mindless twit supports my coverup of the BIG DIG AND my backstabbing of GOP candidates through surrogates,
(Thank me, she even jumps right in to attack them)
and she especially LOVES my imposition of gay marriage by
my personal order under improper Executive Authority,
and my support of TARP and Sharia,
and my making money from the 911 Victory Mosque.
These are things that make us 'conservative'."

Malkin gets it..Wonder if she has the same information FR has?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I’m from MA—it’s a complete disaster, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I don’t know anyone who likes it, or even knows what the heck it’s costing the state.

Worcester MA dittos.

[CynicalBear]

Didn’t Pam Bondi say that she was promised a position in Romney’s administration if he’s elected? I think she sold out.

[Mountain Mary]

Malkin probably reads FR.
She is very bright, a core Conservative and yes, gets it.

[justabrokestudent]

Just imagine what GingrichCare would cost.

It’s kind of amazing that every candidate that decided to get in this year left so much to be desired.

[JediJones]

It seems grossly irresponsible on her part while she’s prosecuting this case. It gives the Obama attorneys a huge opening to quote her statements in interviews like this and perhaps pull out the Florida constitution, and make a case to how Obomneycare is no more a contradiction to the U.S. constitution than it is to Florida’s. She ought to be run out of office for jeopardizing the case for selfish political gain.

[JediJones]

Romney corrupts. Absolute Romney corrupts absolutely.

You can’t spell “Romney” without “R” “MONEY”!

[hoosiermama]

Yes, she was on Greta after the bus segment with Newt. Jr has posted a thread on it or you can go to the live Greta thread for first reactions and research info.

Bondi like many others have been either paid or offered positions for their endorsement....Links to supportive information on this statement is posted to both threads mentioned above.

[hoosiermama]

Hit: Check out Clear Channel, who owns it and who it owns. It will explain a lot.

[MissMagnolia]

In my opinion, Bondi didn’t even do a very good job defending R-care which tells you it is indefensible. She was rattling off all the ‘good’ things R-care has done like “lower costs” - she actually said it “will” lower cost as if it hasn’t been implemented yet - ‘lawyer speak’ so she technically wasn’t lying, I guess. It was a disgusting performance. She came across just like Romney does - inauthentic and lying. She even took a snarky shot at Newt & Greta, who had just interviewed him on his bus, said she was ‘taking the last word’ and actually slapped back at Bondi somewhat by letting everyone know that the AG Bondi succeeded, Bill McCollum, is heading up the committee for Newt in FL. Good for Greta & Bondi is a Mittbot of the worst kind.

[Boardwalk]

I have had a few Republicans telling me I am not being rational by preferring Newt over Romney. One of them I used to offer a ride home to as I go his way. Friday he walked home in the rain.

[mosesdapoet]

Thanks for the posting . Boy the deficatious oder oozing from Mitts Florid-a outhouse into this ranking campaign is amazing. Plus Newt’s tv rebuttal buys are being held up at local stations and here’s a guy (Willard) who can’t even call Obama a “socialist”. We’re in deep do-do if Willard makes it.

This is where leaflet distribution plays an major role.

[KansasGirl]

I agree.

[hoosiermama]

LOL There are several good links and articles here on FR. Copy them off and send them to him

I’m on one right now that exposes the large fines Bain got for medicare fraud..Seems the “don’t attack capitalism” meme was hiding more of his corruption.

[hoosiermama]

She was reading from notes....Wonder who gave her the notes?

[cricket]

Like it. The 'allegiance' aspect works. Think you have pretty much outlined the 'establishment' Repubs (northeastern establishment) versus the Tea Party folks and 'populists' who fall outside that classification.

Heretofore, and save for veiled hints/threats; the 'inside/establishment' had not openly; put a target on the Tea Party/Populists/God and Guns folks/or just Conservative Republicans. Nor; had we put an ugly face on them.

No question, now; as Repub candidates move forward; that battle lines have been drawn and we recognize the face of our own Repub enemies 'within'.

[MissMagnolia]

Wonder who gave her the notes?

Hmmmm..... I wonder ..... /s. BTW, she wasn't reading all that well as if she wasn't totally familiar with the material. I always liked Bondi when she was on Greta talking about the O-care SCOTUS case, but she was nauseating last night.

[hoosiermama]

I mentioned on the live thread last night that she was almost acting like a jilted lover (or she was a dumb blond)

She exposed too much information: the offer of the position, mentioning she was reading from notes thereby bring attention to the fact, even reading the notes poorly.

If it possible she found out he was courting others and she was just one of many of willard’s.....political whores.
Got to admit it would be a good way of exposing him...all the time playing innocent dumb blond.
