What do you think about Mitt Romney PROMOTING a Health Care MANDATE in an Op Ed 2009?

I think that it is a shame he went back on it.

The facts on the reforms are simple.

FACT - Insurance companies in the USA before the reforms pushed up prices, did not pay out claims when they should and bought or blackmailed politicians [1]

FACT - PER PERSON the USA spends more on healthcare than any other nation on the planet [2]

FACT - Obama debated his plans before the election for healthcare [3]

FACT - the chance of a child under five of dying in the USA is greater than industrialised nations with universal health coverage [4]

FACT - Obama was elected to bring in change [5]

FACT - Obama wants to stop insurance companies from screwing America [6]

FACT - The reforms Obama wants work in the Netherlands and Switzerland [7]

Let me know if my facts are wrong, but please provide proof. And honestly, look at the facts, give them a chance to work.

Santorum is against Social Security and feels it should begin at seventy and higher if he could.Women should get out of the work force and stay at home.The depression was better times than now.President Kennedy made him throw up.Insurance Companies should decide what procedures their clients should receive.He was happy to take the free private schooling for his kiddies till he was caught lying about residency then decided to pay Pa. back.This man would turn the U.S. into a third world country.He stated college is for snobs but his children will be attending.He has three degrees so what is he.He would have a country a third world mess.Mitt Romney is the best choice and he has compassion and intelligence.Santorum is not a capitilist he is a corporatist.

That was then, and this is now. Romney has learned a lot in a few years. Unlike Obama who keeps pushing what the majority of the people don't want. Romney at least realizes and wants to correct what is wrong with this country.

I hope we elect Romney in November.

There's an old saying in Boston: If you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes and it will change. The same is true of Mitt Romney's political views. If you don't like his position on any given issue, just wait and it will probably change! The guy is a weathervane!

Joe,

Focus hard and try to understand; the health care mandate issue is about the US Constitution and states rights. The Federal government has rights enumerated under the US Constitution and ALL OTHER rights belong to the states. Thus if Massachusetts voters decide to support an insurance mandate that is legal and constitutional but if the Federal government put the very same program in place it is not constitutional and therefore not legal. Do you understand now? Explain it to a friend.

I think he will not work very hard if at all to repeal Obamacare. I will not vote for him unless he is the nominee, and it will hurt me then, but we must get rid of Obama even if it means Romney is president.

Hopefully Santorum can make it.

Its my understadning that other Republican candidates also promoted the individuel mandate. I think Newt gingrich also endorsed it during the clinton administratin. It is very weird though that hes now campaigning against it.

On every issue it is like a fish out of water flipping and flopping to get back in water, in Mitt's case it is to lose.

lol

He was talking about mandating women make a copay for their contraceptives.

I think he was wrong, and I do not plan to vote for him.
