He came in 2nd place and he's likely to get the nomonation in 2012 How can Republicans hate a bill so much that was started by thier 2008 # 2 guy and likely 2012 nominee
WHO "started" it is supposed to make the difference between rather I agree or disagree with a particular program? I wouldn't care if it was Ronald Reagan's idea. I don't like the idea of federal government getting even more involved in health care than they already are.
Its Republican hypocrisy . Republicans are furious at Obama for Obama care,but almost nominated the guy who started Obama care first
why dont you go and spend some time looking up what romney tried to pass in Mass, and had to finally compromise with democrats in the state legislature before you come off looking too silly about a subject you clearly know little about. do a side-by-side comparison of the comprehensive health care policy in mass and the one obama is mandating. or you can just continue spouting off as if youre informed, when the rest of us know you're not.
Romney seems quite proud of his plan in my opinion.He didn't say he was forced to sign the bill,he said his bill was conservative <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sjefrWJ1SgQ?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sjefrWJ1SgQ?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
OK.Here are a few Romney care The Massachusetts health care insurance reform law, enacted in 2006, mandates that nearly every resident of Massachusetts obtain a state-government-regulated minimum level of healthcare insurance coverage and provides free health care insurance for residents earning less than 150% of the federal poverty levell (FPL)[1] who are not eligible for Mass Health (Medicaid). Obama care Most people required to obtain health insurance coverage or pay a tax if they don't. Individuals with income up to 133% of the federal poverty level qualify for Medicaid coverage. Healthcare tax credits become available to help people with incomes up to 400 percent of poverty purchase coverage on the exchange. ****** Romney care The reform legislation also included tax penalties for failing to obtain an insurance plan. Massachusetts tax filers who failed to enroll in a health insurance plan which was deemed affordable for them lost the $219 personal exemption on their income tax. Beginning in 2008, penalties increased by monthly increments Obama care Impose an annual penalty of $95, or up to 1% of income, whichever is greater, on individuals who do not secure insurance; ********** Romney care The law established an independent public authority, the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority, also known as the Health Connector. Among other roles, the Connector acts as an insurance broker to offer private insurance plans to residents. Obama care Establish health insurance exchanges, and subsidization of insurance premiums for individuals with income up to 400% of the poverty line, as well as single adults. *********** Romney care Employer taxes Employers with more than ten employees must provide a "fair and reasonable contribution" to the premium of health insurance for employees.[23] Employers who do not will be assessed an annual fair share contribution that will not exceed $295 per employee per year.[23] The fair share contribution will be paid into the Commonwealth Care Trust Fund to fund Commonwealth Care and other health reform programs.[20] Obama care Employers with 50 or more workers who do not offer coverage face a fine of $2,000 for each employee if any worker receives subsidized insurance on the exchange. The first 30 employees aren't counted for the fine.
Not only did McCain support bailouts, he suspended his campaign to fly to Washington to expedite them The same party who protest in mass over Obama made McCain and Romney their top 2 choices to be their nominee
OOOOh!! So, now you understand why I encourage people to vote for anything besides a Democrat or a Republican. What's the difference??? As has been said, same circus, different clowns. Of course, I'm sure that the Republicans' latest contract with America will fix all the old problems. LMAO!
