Response to Debra Saunders’ “ObamaCare and RomneyCare are very different.”


One of the striking moments during last week’s Presidential debate included Romney’s criticizing ObamaCare without repudiating his health insurance mandate in the Bay State, the “blue print” for Obama’s signature legislation. I wish that Saunders had pondered then published her views earlier in the year, for then I would have more likely supported Romney early on.

Romney passed a bipartisan plan, one which though based on a Republican idea required by-in from a Democratic supermajority in Boston. Romney’s plan was flexible, in contrast to Obama’s straitened mandate-tax, among other underfunded mandates which will harm employers.

Indeed, Obama’s law took government overspending and irresponsibility to a risibly new low. Romney’s plan did not institute a separate board either, and affects only the residents of Massachusetts, while Obama’s plan is hurting the health industry and consumers.

Romney exposed cost overruns and federal encroachments into state power. He won and so did we.
