-According to the Beacon Hill Institute the RomneyCare plan has increased total health insurance costs by $4.3 Billion.

-The Kiaser Family Foundation recently found that Massachusetts health insurance premiums are now the highest in the nation. This has come about since the passage of RomneyCare.

-Since the passage of RomneyCare, healthcare costs paid by the state have risen until they now account for 40% of the state budget.

-According to current projections, the average median-income family will be expected to pay nearly a third of its income toward health insurance premiums by 2016.

-Since 2004, the average annual premium for non-group insurance nationally increased from $4,424 to $6,328 in 2009. The Massachusetts Average increased from $10,126 to 13,288 in 2009, spiking up to nearly $17,000 in 2007. RomneyCare was passed in 2006 with the partial purpose of addressing the fact that Massachusetts residents paid so much more than the rest of the country for health insurance.

And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . . "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

So what do we do Dude or Dudess.?

[originalbuckeye]

I have a friend in Massachusetts who wants Nationalized Healthcare. She wants it so that other states can help pay for Massachusetts healthcare costs. I said ‘other states will have their own costs if Nationalized Healthcare is passed’. This woman is normally pretty Conservative. Nationalized Healthcare will be the straw that breaks the camel's back in this once great country. Romney needs to come out and speak of how it didn't work in Massachusetts. NOW!

Vote your conscience and your principles.

Do not vote out of fear.

[snarkytart]

How about getting off your arse and working to get as many conservatives elected in your state and into the US Congress and US Senate.

[SoFloFreeper]

Damn. Good thing we have the Tenth amendment, and if the people of Massachusetts hate the program so much, they can dump it or change it.

I love the Constitution.

[silentreignofheroes]

Never Happen.

[NoLibZone]

The people of Mass like Romney care.

It’s very popular.

Do you oppose states rights?

The 500 Conservatives in the state may wish to move.

[silentreignofheroes]

I live in Alabama,,check out the last election,,Been there done that , and I’m there again.

Sounds like the folks in Massachusetts are not going to have any money left after the feds take their share in 2016. Families will be getting real hungry as I feel certain that the money for food stamps will run out as well.

It is very scary. Mr. Romney still will not admit to his mistake. Hope they do not expect money from the rest of us as we will all be broke by then.

Mitt Romney: For use when lying and looting just aren’t quite enough to bring conservatives on board.

Dick Cheney
Sarah Palin
Michele Bachmann
RUSH
George W Bush

As well as the NLRC’s last two picks for president?

She wants it so that other states can help pay for Massachusetts healthcare costs.

I thought the other states were already helping pay for RomneyCare, and without that federal help, the numbers for MA would be even worse . . .

[RaisingCain]

“Are you actively campaigning for 0bama?”

---

Are you actively campaigning against TRUTH-TELLING on Mitt Romney, a known socialist-liar?

[gilor]

Not at all, but you are helping 0’s side.

[hecht]

so since Obamacare is 2700 pages vs 70 pages, will Obamacare be 39 times worse?
