He says it is a good model.

Which is a big part of what is so very wrong with Romney. He thinks big government can actually offer solutions better than the private sector..

That is correct. It is a model that we can now look at and see what we like and don't like about it. It is good as a model, but it is not necessarily good as a model for the nation to adopt.

RomneyCare can be tweaked until doomsday. It'll still be a big government "solution". It'll still take money from earners to pay for people who don't earn. It's still intrusive, invasive and ineffective. It is still stealing from workers. Dress it up however you like. Stealing is stealing. Tweaking it will never make it right.

The primary requirement the people of MA were wanting was a system that insured everyone. The primary thing Romney wanted was to keep the operation in the private sector.

You say "the people of MA", as if all of those people wanted this. Did they ask everyone who pays taxes to support it if they wanted it? Or are people working hard and having their taxes taken to support those who don't pay into the system? Hint: I know the answer to this one, as one of my best friends lives in Massachusetts and is being taxed out of his home to pay for this junk.

RomneyCare is not "in the private sector". It's funded on the back of taxpayers, and those backs are getting close to breaking.

Romney said they wanted to make it cost effective, but that is not where all the effort went in getting it started. He thinks it needs more work on that.

Sigh.... Like all liberals, Romney thinks that Nirvana is just one legislative tweak or new law in the future.

I accept your point.
I know, because I live in California. Our governor and legislature keep giving us “what we want,” but at least some of us don't want what they are giving us.
Unfortunately, not enough of us want things changed, so we have to suffer the consequences of the idiots who have crazy ideas.
