Of course this is part of “nose under the tent” and all that jazz, and of course gov’t destroys what it touches, but all I did was to state the fact that this particular piece of legislation was NOT part of the original bill, nor were a bunch of other mandates enacted since, like prescription medication. I’ll kick Romney for what he did, but he shouldn’t bear the burden of Deval’s bills as well.
OK. you’re right. It’s not fair to blame Ronmey for this new law. But it is perfectly OK to make the observation that this new law is what one would expect to come after Romneycare. Whenever government legislation causes a problem, we can expect that the government will try to pass even more legislation to “fix” it, instead of repealing the bad legislation that caused the problem in the first place.
