    Mitt Romney Legacy: Hard to Dodge RomneyCare Failure

    Both have an individual mandate requiring most residents to have health insurance or pay a penalty. Most businesses are required to participate or pay a fine. Both rely on government-designed purchasing exchanges that also provide a platform to control private health insurance. Many of the uninsured are covered through Medicaid expansion and others receive subsidies for highly-prescriptive policies. And the apparatus requires a plethora of new government boards and agencies.
    Let us take note that some conservatives where calling this piece of human filth the next Reagan. This scum bag should be no where near the White House.

    Don't like Romney for this very reason.

    Massachusetts has the highest insurance premiums in the country. Coincidence?

    I find that funny coming out of you since until a few weeks ago you were touting that other piece of filth Scott Brown as the next generation of conservatives. When in fact that Brown is cut from the same scum as Romney and was one of his chief backers for Romneycare.

    This is why Romney didn't get anywhere in the primaries, and why he'll never go anywhere in the future. And it's MASS, thus while yes Scott Brown's win was the equivilent of a no name challenger taking out Ali in a fight, he's still a Mass. Republican.

    Hey, I have no misconceptions of Scott Brown. I think an elected Massachusetts politician is only capable of so much conservativism. LOL

    I had early hopes when he won (I don't profess to know the ins and outs of specific local politicians in Massachusetts), but I wasn't surprised by his early leanings.

    Hey, if he helps us kill this healthcare disaster in the making, I'll take it.

    Excuses, Excuses, Excuses, principals apparently still dont matter even after what we have seen the filth that are in Washington are doing to our money. I wouldve thought you clowns wouldve figured it out by now, maybe complete bankruptcy from either the wars or Obama will be only thing that will wake people the **** up!

    I think most conservatives know Romney is a liberal. Its the die hard republicans that try to champion him as a actual conservative or some of the politically ignorant people who think that just because someone has a R next to their name that somehow makes them better than someone with a D next to their name.

    I'm not saying Romney is the next Reagan but his support of RomneyCare is not inconsistent with the Constitution, as it is a State program. And don't forget, Reagan was once a Democrat...

    Just because the SOB uses the 10th Amendment as justification doesnt make it right.

    But that's a perfectly reasonable justification. The Founding Fathers intended for things like education and health care to be handled by the State; that's Federalism. RomneyCare doesn't effect anyone living outside of his State. The people who live in that State are free to move to another State if it becomes untenable. That's liberty.

    Anyway, I'm not saying I love Romney or anything, but I don't see his support of a State healthcare program as an indication of how he'd act in a Federal capacity.
