Everyone has to have auto insurance, and I have never heard anyone say auto insurance is socialized. Requiring that everyone have it, has nothing to do with whether or not it is socialized.
You have an all or nothing way of thinking that is intellectually dishonest and misleading, EV. It unfortunately hurts your credibility.
I'm not the one being forced to justify gross liberalism. That would be you.
Sad thing is that EV will not put things into perspective.
Mass was in financial trouble Romney had talent to fix that if they could hold on to it!
Which we see now the Liberals would not allow it!
Mass has always be a welfare state but Mitt tried to improve a situation lessening the burden on the tax payer!
In his health care he wanted to wean off of as many as possible the poor poor will always be with us so Medicate would take care of that, but those others who fell through the crack where they could not afford the full cost of their insurance, Mitt made it so they had to pay something according to their ability.
Like the scale they have in City Hospitals where people on plan according to their income.
Some pay $20, 40, 60, 80 a visited according to their yearly income of which plan they fall under!
So for the insurance it was set up similar and required that those who income fell with in those ranges had to buy their health care.
This way much of the pass burden of pay all of their health care was no longer the case of picking up the whole tab.
So the burden was lessen but sadly the over barring liberals have usurp Romney plan and adulterated it!
As far as those other issues about Romney and pro choice etc I understand it so clearly you have to promise not to touch the 3rd rail if you want to get elected.
If one is honest there was no way Romney could changed in those issues if they were in effect before he came, but many voters are ignorant of those things and the buzz factory like EV buzz factroy trys to scare the unenlighten voter.
Romney platform was not on those other issues on pro-choice he want to use his talent to make Mass sovlent!
But the left media and political horse there has other ideas!
