-According to the Beacon Hill Institute the RomneyCare plan has increased total health insurance costs by $4.3 Billion.
-The Kiaser Family Foundation recently found that Massachusetts health insurance premiums are now the highest in the nation. This has come about since the passage of RomneyCare.
-Since the passage of RomneyCare, healthcare costs paid by the state have risen until they now account for 40% of the state budget.
-According to current projections, the average median-income family will be expected to pay nearly a third of its income toward health insurance premiums by 2016.
-According to the Pioneer Institute, total spending on Uncompensated Care and Commonwealth Care has increased by 38% since the passage of RomneyCare.
-Since 2004, the average annual premium for non-group insurance nationally increased from $4,424 to $6,328 in 2009. The Massachusetts Average increased from $10,126 to 13,288 in 2009, spiking up to nearly $17,000 in 2007. RomneyCare was passed in 2006 with the partial purpose of addressing the fact that Massachusetts residents paid so much more than the rest of the country for health insurance.

“But agree with Racheal Maddow , Bill Maher, Maxine Waters et all that Mitt is bad ?”
But most importantly, do you find Mitt Romney physically attractive, and will not mind bending over for him repeatedly as he continues to do exactly what he did in Massachusetts, but on a national level?
Is she GOPe? Not!!!
Is she part of the lie? Not!!!
TRANSCRIPT of part of the Video Interview between Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin April 12 2012:
Downlaod the audio HERE http://www.mediafire.com/?wo9bxx7mqma9x1m
Hannity: (8:40min:seconds to 8:46 ) “Alright, Lets talk about the campaign and your convinced Romney’s it now? Do you think it’s pretty much over?”
Palin(8:47 – 9:09 ) “Well let me put it this way, I don’t want Newt to drop out, I don’t want Ron Paul to drop out, because I want debate still on the ideas that both of the other candidates have been able to espouse and explain to the country, I want Ron Paul’s message about cutting the budget, about the economic woeful times that we are in and what we can do about it I want those to continue to be discussed and Newt has some good ideas too.”
Hannity: (9:09-9:22 ) Are you convinced, because you spoke about this at an earlier time during the primary, are you convinced as to time has gone on that governor Romney will govern as a solid strong conservative or do you still have doubts?
Palin: (9:23-9:37 ) “I am convinced that governor Romney, if he is our nominee and if he is elected president, he will know to surround himself with those that will inherently know to go right, to err on the side of smaller, smarter government and that gives me a lot of confidence.”
“Not at all, but you are helping 0’s side.”
The moment this became a fear and suppression campaign against facts, is the same moment you lost all claim to fighting for a “righteous” goal.
If lying and covering up truth is required to be a supporter of Mitt Romney, I will NOT compromise my soul for the GOPe’s short term and virtually irrelevant gain.
Can you name any GOP presidential nominee you have ever supported?
You just outed your self:
“But most importantly, do you find Mitt Romney physically attractive”
Homosexuality is upper most in the minds of you Daily Kos peeps.
“Is Sarah Palin a RINO? Not!!!
Is she GOPe? Not!!!”
Does anything you say have any intellectual merit beyond designed to get people to cower to Name-Brands without any individual assessment and thinking?
YES! YES! YES!
Are you a friend of liberty and free-thinking?
NOT SINCE MITT ROMNEY! LOL.
I'm not voting for mittens, I'm voting against the worst president I've seen in a lifetime.
You should focus your energies on the senate, 'cause you're starting to sound whiney.
“You just outed your self:

If you can’t stand people being honest about Romney and his positions, you certainly are not very conservative.
“You should focus your energies on the senate, ‘cause you’re starting to sound whiney.”
I'm tryin' man but gimme a break, I live in Illinois. We have Durbin and Kirk for Senators, one calls himself a democrat and the other calls himself a republican. I forget which is which because they are both so liberal it's sickening.
I wonder which liberal presidential candidate will get my state's electoral votes? mmmmm, I believe the dark skinned one will.

BEGONE TRUTH TELLER!
In other word a BS assumption.
Try being positive, negativity is a trait best left for liberals.
what good comes from your "I'm the one brave enough to state the truth about mittens!" posts? Are you educating us? Really, what is the point?
You know when someone claims that romney is a conservative that they are 100% certifiably bat shit crazy.
There is a small, fanatical cabal of Mormon haters and 0bama supporters active on FR. They fit like peas in a pod and aren’t interested in anything beyond ensuring the defeat of “Mittens”; don’t waste your time on them, because they are pretty much beyond reason at this point. It’s interesting to note that they seem to become most shrill around Freepathon time. Didn’t really see many of their threads since the last funding drive ended...now they’re back like herpes. Coincidence?
I'm not voting for mittens, I'm voting against the worst president I've seen in a lifetime.
You wacky ABOs.
You can claim a third-party vote for a third party candidate is what it isn't -- a vote for 0bama -- but you can also claim that your vote for Romney isn't what it is -- a vote for Romney. That is how it shows up in the vote totals.
And you expect people to keep straight faces while we read those words. Come January this place will be populated by ABOs trying to wash their hands of Mutt Romney to recapture their conservative creds. Good luck with that.
“That’s a stretch, in fact that is a leap.

I'm guessing a DU troll.
I'll just ask one question:
Who wants 0 in office instead of mittens?
mittbot? WOW, sorry but that single post speaks volumes. I'm doing my best to silence who and how? Then the next sentance you tell me to stay out of a thread.
BTW ... Give me an example of when I supported mittens or didn't support free speech.
“Who wants 0 in office instead of mittens?”
Mittens, on a longer term, does more to harm our movement than Obama does. I’ve seen conservatives suggest that Obozo will round conservatives up and shoot them. I find this much better than conservatives being rounded up onto plantations to support mediocrity and decay. The country is in need of a major reset, and to be honest our future does not look very bright. But the worst thing we can do at this point is surrender any long term hope we can have by short term pleasure of removing ONE GUY, when the ideology behind him prevails in the form of both candidates.
I’m not voting for Obozo. I’ll probably end up writing someone in. But if Obozo wins, I’d rather have a Devil the GOP opposes than one the GOPe loves.
