Myths of Obamacare
19th July 2010
Romneycare affords us a glimpse into the not very distant future if Obamacare is not repealed. Employers are dumping their health care plans. The governor is essentially attempting to impose price controls on insurers. If the governor is successful, insurers would just throw in the towel. When that happens under Obamacare, we will take our nationalized medicine straight.
What puzzles me is that Republicans revile Obama for Obamacare, yet appear to give Romney a pass on Romneycare. Why is that? It may be just the fact that Romneycare was already demonstrably failing when Obama pushed his program through, and that he deserves obloquy for persisting in the face of failure. But I really can’t see any reason for people to consider Romney a legitimate candidate for the Republican Presidential nod, as he obviously is, when his chief accomplishment as Governor of Massachusetts is a failed program identical to the chief priority of our current leftist Democrat in the White House.
