Note how Romney has stepped forward and offered a Republican response to what is likely to become (given Iraq victory) the ultimate issue in the 2008 Presidential campaign. It is a plan that goes on offense, rather than just plays defense against Democrat proposals.
The reason you can’t play only defense and say repeated NO to the Dem proposal is because of something conservatives with employer plans cannot understand — namely The Status Quo Loses. The voters will not accept continued 15%/yr increases in premiums and pre-existing condition exclusion.
That is the status quo and it loses. If you lose you are irrelevant.
Playing offense on this issue is critically important.
Wait until EVERYONE is able to receive ALL the FREE or subsidized medical services they want. You ain’t seen nothing yet. The costs of medical products and services are going to soar with the demand.
Woo hoo!! Boom time for the health insurance and services rackets!!
Great he is going on the offensive. I expect he will go on the offensive on our 2nd amendment rights too.............
“response to what is likely to become (given Iraq victory) the ultimate issue in the 2008 Presidential campaign. It is a plan that goes on offense, rather than just plays defense against Democrat proposals.”
If you call the Republican response raising the white flag and learning French, then I guess you could call that offense. But in the real world socialism is socialism no matter how you dress the pig.
