Because they pre-stole the money from the Federal Taxpayers:
"Did Romneycare raise taxes? No, but the state didn’t need to. It covered the cost of reform with larger payments that it negotiated from the federal government for its Medicaid program."

Ideally, then I do agree. Most of the legislation passed since the New Deal and Great Socirty should be repealed. You won’t get an argument out of me on that point. I think Romney was simply working within the system. His state does get Medicaid dollars. And hospitals are not allowed to turn away anyone. I think he was simply working within that framework. Rather than simply giving people Medicaid, he though it would be better to make them obtain private insurance.
