lol!
i agree.
No more government. NO MORE GOVERNMENT!
Ping!
This is a nice post discussing the pros and cons of Mitt’s health care plan. Hopefully we can have a fair and rational discussion.
“Hopefully we can have a fair and rational discussion.”
One would hope, but some seem opposed to that.
Gov. Romney: Healthcare Is A Republican Issuehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhJo_DlN1jk
So RomneyCareI is out and RomneyCareII is in!
Unfortunately, Romney still supports some reforms that would expand government.
So in reality, Mitt is still a big government guy.
Yep, there's a first time for everything.
have you thought about adding a pair of fuzzy dice for “chance”?
----> DeMint: Romney's Health Plan Expands Freedom, Not Socialism
Columbia, SC - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement:
"Governor Romney's plan will dramatically expand access to affordable, private health insurance. By providing for full deductibility of all medical expenses, this plan will help millions of Americans who don't receive coverage through their employer to have a real choice in the individual market. It will also help equalize the tax treatment between employer-based and individual health insurance, allowing more Americans to afford a plan they can own and keep.
"This plan rejects socialized medicine that leads to fewer choices, lower quality, and higher taxes. Governor Romney has outlined a sensible plan that will harness the power of free markets to provide Americans with personal control of the highest quality care at the best possible price."
Romney is brilliant. He knows we cannot allow the dems to own this issue. Yes, the current system needs reform, but he understands that we need to come up with innovative ideas and solve the problems on our terms, not theirs.
Okay fair and rational. Point out to me where it's the business of the national government to be forwarding health care 'plans', medical programs, retirement plans, or 95% of anything they do. Fair is giving Romney and every other big government advocate the time and ability to withdraw their 'solutions' and be quiet.
Cut taxes, return the money to the citizens of the respective states, and get out of our lives. Fair enough? If I choose to purchase medical insurance that's my business. If I choose not to that's my business as well and I accept the repercussions that may bring with it.
The fact is, people who can afford health insurance but don't buy it are being as irresponsible as people who don't buy auto insurance. As conservatives, we ought to be supporting personal responsibility.
I'm dissapointed Mitt didn't include an individual mandate in his national plan. It's still an okay plan, but as the heritage guy says, it will leave the heavy lifting to the states.
"By contrast, Health Savings Accounts (which Romney also supports) create incentives to save."
To me the answer is Health Savings Accounts. It is good that Romeny is also supportive of the idea.
LOL! Three pings (in a row) to this most informative article. There is NO WAY we could miss it! : )
Just say no to Romneycare!
