I have come to the conclusion that you are a democrat and a very left liberal, which means you are also pro abortion. You are only here to be a poser and stir things up to demoralize republicans and I won't have it.
Romney returns to his life long pro-abortion position.
August 2012, after winning the primary, Romney now rejects the republican pro-life position.
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. Im in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.
I am against socialized medicine, too. Here's the type of "outcome" I was referring to: 1. A paraplegic with intact skin is admitted to hospital for routine procedure, but ends up with bedsores and has to stay extra days for treatment of them. Under provisions of Accountable Care, the hospital would receive NO reimbursement for that and there would also be penalties for the substandard care. 2. Or another example, patient is seen in doctor's office and prescribed a new med. When he goes home he doesn't understand the directions for taking it and suffers severe side effects as a result. Unders provisions of Accountable Care, the doctor would receive no reimbursement for the care that must now be provided to "fix" the complications.
You get the idea, I hope. It's about the responsibility of health care providers to insure that their patients get the best care possible, and that insurers are not rewarded for low quality care that results in even higher costs. If you aren't aware, Medicare is already doing this. It is never going away.
