Romneycare and Obamacare - a comparison
thinkprogress.org
Apparently, the word is going around that Romney will push states into doing something like the ACA on their own without a federal mandate (though why this makes sense is beyond me, but nevermind that), and (needless to say) there is a great deal of pushback from the base. Below is a pretty sample of that pushback, bringing back the rhetoric of "death panels," "socialism" and "fascism," only this time of course directed at Romney. They are getting extremely exercised about this, and probably Newt's best strategy at this point is to highlight it and pound it home.
We’re Screwed… Florida AG Pam Bondi Says Mitt Wants Romneycare In Every State (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, January 28, 2012, 10:21 AM
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Romney supporter, let the cat out of the bag last night. The Florida Republican told Greta Van Susteren that Mitt wants Romneycare in every state.
She also said she would be on Romney’s Health Care Advisory Team when he’s president.
Jim Robinson reported on the segment:
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi who’s fighting to repeal ObamaCare appeared on Greta, tonight, defending RomneyCare. She says Romney’s health care plan is not the same as ObamaCare and, in fact, Romney’s plan reduces costs. She goes on to say that Romney wants all states to impose similar laws (including mandates) and that she and is all for it.
She went on to explain that she’s going to be on Romney’s Health Care Advisory Team when he’s president!
What this means is that while Romney may say he wants to repeal ObamaCare, he actually agrees with it. He believes that RomneyCare, ie, ObamaCare is a model health care plan and all states should impose similar plans.
RomneyCare and ObamaCare are the same thing. The only difference is that Romney’s was imposed at the state level where Obama’s was imposed nationally.
RomneyCare = ObamaCare = taxpayer funded abortion = death panels = socialism = government force = fascism = tyranny!!
So Romney and his co-conspirators in the GOP establishment are now planning a National Healthcare Task Force to impose top-down government run national healthcare on all 50 states!!
We all know what Reagan said about government by a group of elites and that socialism would be imposed on America through socialized health care. Well, welcome to the Socialist States Of America if Romney is elected.
If the GOP does this then the hell with them!!
