If everybody has to have it, it’s socialized medicine.

And the beast he’s created has only begun to devour...and it will grow, and grow, and grow. Count on it.

You can’t deal with innovative thinking and creativity, can you? Mitt Romney dug the Olympics out of debt ($4m) and ended up with $1m in profit. Some more creative business acumen on his part. He thinks outside of the box. I like that quality. Try it and see if you can get as far as he has in life. P.S., that was a wimpy reply, because you couldn’t find the socialism in his medical insurance plan, could you. Hehehehehehe.

"If everybody has to have it, it’s socialized medicine."

NO, it's only socialized medicine if everybody has to have it AND the government pays for it. Which is not Mitt's plan. By your standards, auto insurance is "socialized."

So if everybody has to have car insurance (except illegals), then is that "socialized car insurance"?

Mandatory insurance requirements but that isn't the same thing as HillaryCare. Romney also managed to exclude the business mandates that CA is embracing. This is why Romney is a lot more pro-business than The Arnold.

People need to realize that one of the reasons why some industries go for illegals so much is because of health care costs. Requiring health insurance will reduce employer incentives to hire illegals.

IMHO, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Romney is nothing like Bill Clinton. Romney clearly won the debate and is a strong candidate whether you like him or not.

BTW, a lack of health care in this country increases the risk for serious pandemics to spread like wildfire, just like in third world country’s. There is now a totally drug resistant form of TB out there. A gentleman is currently being held in quarantine in Arizona with this dread disease under court order. He picked it up in Russia. Poor medical care has contributed to the evolution of drug resistant diseases, which left unchecked will cause havoc worldwide. Just a prediction.
