Its a state issue that he was forced to deal with.
Federally, there is no constitutional authority to get involved. He agrees with that.
If he is the candidate running against Soebarkah the America hating Kenyan born muzzie, then Romney has my vote.
Which other states force "everyone" to pay for healthcare?
Because Massachusetts doesn't.
Massachusetts forces taxpayers to pay for everyone's health care. On welfare or "too poor" or "too sick" or just don't wanna? ? Thank a Massachusetts taxpayer. They are the ones paying outrageous tax bills.
Not "everyone", as you claim. Middle class taxpayers.
Its a state issue that he was forced to deal with.
He was not forced to require that taxpayers subsidize everyone and their dog in Massachusetts, but he did it anyway.
Now, thanks to Romney, Massachusetts is left with huge government interventions into the private lives of citizens, double digit increases for employer health care costs, and a huge taxpayer burden.
As an experiment, however, the Massachusetts law has revealed certain weaknesses in the plan. Three areas of concern are: overreaching social planning by the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority (the “exchange”); double-digit increases in health insurance costs for many employers and individuals, and too much taxpayer money still underwriting free care.

That article was written by Tim Murphy, Secretary of Health and Human Services Romney.
According to Murphy, while admitting the massive problems, he thinks the law can be fixed with yet more government intervention. Apparently, the people Romney appoints are about as bright as he is.
As a conservative, I'm appalled at the thought of stealing an individual's hard earned money to fund other people's lifestyles.
I'm not in favor of "overreaching social planning", either.
Your mileage may vary, of course.
Uh, with you it goes deeper than that:

So don't hit us with the usual 'vote for Romney or vote for Obama crap. You like Romney, you said so yourself. At least be honest with your pimping.
Of course, picking Romney would take Obamacare off the table as a campaign issue, just as picking McCain took amnesty off the table in 2008. But don't let the details get in the way of your weak-kneed Romney swooning (what IS it about good hair that makes people depart their senses?)
