Mitt Romney spoke of “freeloaders” using the system when he talked about Romneycare in the 2012 campaign. He was saying people needed to pay into the system by being forced to buy insurance.
This is a replay of the auto insurance industry getting government to force everyone to buy car insurance back in the 1970’s and 80’s.
Hillarycare was 1990’s, but the problems leading to Romneycare and Obamacare are in the last decade.
Its most definitely about the money flowing out faster than it was flowing in.
I don’t think your car insurance argument translates over to healthcare, myself. For instance, there are many states where one can have a surety bond of a certain amount (say $25K) in lieu of insurance. In my state, this has been true since I started driving 45 years ago
Regardless, I don’t see how the inflow/outflow result flows to the assumption (at least from what I see in your post) that the healthcare industry and healthcare insurance industry are the initiators of what we have now.
IOW, you have not convinced me
who??
Romney is out of the picture now.
He lost.
Who cares what he 'spoke of' ?
