RomneyCare by the Numbers
repeal-romneycare.com ^

Posted on 07/02/2012 4:17:00 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

-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.

-Since the passage of RomneyCare the percentage of residents with difficulty paying off their medical bills has remained essentially unchanged. Why are we paying so much more for the same results?

-According to the Beacon Hill Institute, RomneyCare is responsible for nearly 18,500 lost jobs since its passage.

-Since the passage of RomneyCare the average cost of individual coverage has increased by more than 36%

-Since the passage of RomneyCare there has been no significant reduction in Commonwealth Care administrative costs as was promised.

-Since its passage, RomneyCare has cost the Massachusetts economy $29 Million in annual private investment.

You disagree with the choice of those shown in Row1 and share the beliefs of Mitt by those shown on row 2.

Once again, those who are violating their own stated principles by supporting a known lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal are left with only two options:

1. Bringing out the Hate Card.
2. Name-Calling
3. or False Accusations.

This is the actual record of that liar you are supporting:

This is a sick thread.

You'll notice that not one of the ABO's and MittBots have been able to provide a logical, cogent, rebuttal to the facts presented in the thread.

Nope, all they can do is bring out the hysterical Hate Card and name-calling because they cannot defend the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal Mitt Romney when presented with his record.

It would appear that succombing to the unprincipled ABO position drives them into some sort of madness when confronted by the truth.

Nope, as I have posted before, I support to options that are not Obama:

1. Write-in Sarah Palin
2. Vote for Virgil Goode - Constitution Party.



Both are actual conservatives as shown by their records. Both are not Liars.

Neither can be said of Romney.

I see you are still lying about other Freepers.

See post #65.

As for facts, the ABOs and MittBots have none to support their position.

Just fearmongering, the Hate Card, and name-calling.

Seems to be a mental condition that goes along with selling out your conservative principles.

Virgil Goode is who you feel would be a good alternative to Obama.

Sarah can’t work based on your principles:

“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.”- Sarah Palin 4-12-2012

I look forward to your Virgil Goode Threads.

Can you link to any so I can read up on him?

Sorry, but my principles allow me to vote for somebody I disagree with.

I just can't vote for a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal like Mitt Romney:

THere is a point where it just gets too ludicrous for words. It would be entertaining, if it weren’t so dangerously sad.

This is going to be a nightmare.

Can you imagine the debates?

I don’t know how Romney can argue our side on this issue, particularly when they have prepared for this since 2008.

You'll find several posted by me.

For being such a prodigious RomneyBot poster on FreeRepublic you sure seem rather ignorant of it's search capabilities.

Romney will get creamed in any debates.

Being the coward and liar that his is, and given the complete lack of any type of principles or morals in Obama or his camp, Romney will probably run away and refuse to debate.

All Obama has to say is You agreed with my position at this point in time and Romney will get that famous deer in the headlights look on his face.

Don't let the slander, fearmongering and constant lying by the ABO crowd and MittBots bother you rem_mitchell.

It's standard operating procedure for these conservatives who have sold out their souls and their principles and are now shilling for a known lying, left-wing, progressive Liberal because of their fear of Obama.
