Topic: Florida AG Pam Bondi Says Mitt Wants Romneycare In Every State

[Pandora]

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Romney supporter, went on The Record last night. The Florida Republican told Greta Van Susteren that Mitt wants Romneycare in every state.

Jim Robinson reported on the segment:

    Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi who’s fighting to repeal ObamaCare appeared on Greta, tonight, defending RomneyCare. She says Romney’s health care plan is not the same as ObamaCare and, in fact, Romney’s plan reduces costs. She goes on to say that Romney wants all states to impose similar laws (including mandates) and that she and is all for it.

    She went on to explain that she’s going to be on Romney’s Health Care Advisory Team when he’s president!

    What this means is that while Romney may say he wants to repeal ObamaCare, he actually agrees with it. He believes that RomneyCare, ie, ObamaCare is a model health care plan and all states should impose similar plans.

    RomneyCare and ObamaCare are the same thing. The only difference is that Romney’s was imposed at the state level where Obama’s was imposed nationally.

    RomneyCare = ObamaCare = taxpayer funded abortion = death panels = socialism = government force = fascism = tyranny!!

    So Romney and his co-conspirators in the GOP establishment are now planning a National Healthcare Task Force to impose top-down government run national healthcare on all 50 states!!

    We all know what Reagan said about government by a group of elites and that socialism would be imposed on America through socialized health care. Well, welcome to the Socialist States Of America if Romney is elected.

    If the GOP does this then the hell with them!!

Vid at link.

She goes on to say that Romney wants all states to impose similar laws (including mandates) and that she and is all for it.

Bondi did not exactly say that; she said Romney believes it's a matter of States' rights after she outlined how Obamacare and Romneycare differ.  However, the conclusion can be drawn that she, and Romney, are in favor of his plan in the States.

You would think that this little tidbit all by itself would be enough to push Gingrich or Santorum over the line...should be Santorum since Gingrich is also on record as being for and individual mandate...

...this is Tea Party red meat if there is such a thing.

Pretty much what we feared, he'll turn ObamaCare into RomneyCare and all we did was exchange Big Government Socialism for, uh, umm...the same damn thing under a different name!

But Romney will deny it if asked, and if elected then you'd find out.  Screw that, since I will not vote for Willard under any circumstances I guess the point is moot.  We'll either have more socialism or somebody other than a moron like Romney.

Which this?

Keep in mind that I'm not rushing to Romney's aid here but it seems to me that he's already said that this  something to be decided by the states .

I understand, so let's leave Romney out of it for now and focus on the concept of any government -- "decided by the states" -- arrogating to itself the authority to demand, at gunpoint, that an individual purchase anything.  No, gawdamnit, SH; that is not government's purpose.  Government's purpose is to protect my right to NOT purchase anything I choose not to.

Now, back to Romney with the previous stipulation intact; he's of the opinion that the aforesaid presumption, rejected by me and many, is rightful and proper, and, as he refuses to walkback that opinion, and continues to defend his institution of it in MA, he can go to hell.  Bondi's interview leads me to the conclusion that Romney would simply instruct the states to institute some version of Romneycare -- after all, if it's the states that are doing it .......

The states cannot decide that hospitals can refuse service to anyone, the Supreme Court has decided that hospitals must service anyone regardless of ability to pay.  This a direct conflict with the "free state" solution.  The hospital or doctor must make a profit or it will cease to exist.

Again the Supremes have federalized a state issue and the aspect of RomneyCare being discussed is an attempt to lessen the financial burden on those who do pay their way.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner!

This I already know. 

What I also know is this is typical of government operating in the manner of the "Unconstrained Vision"; they screw sh*t up via their stinking laws and regulations and then decide more laws and regulations MUST be the answer.

Lastly, what I know is neither Romneycare nor Obamacare will lesson the financial burden on anyone who pays his own way.

So, FAIL!

Fer Chrissake... I didn't say I agreed with him ... GEEEEEZ !!!

[Pandora]

Okay!! Well.  But ....

SO?!

 

[Libertas]

Heh.

We're all on raw nerves.

Comes with getting screwed over by Establishment types for so long!

Sometimes paranoia is justified, I think they are really out to get us all!

[Predator Don]

Heh.

The question begs to be asked......will raw nerves be covered under obamacare or romneycare?

[charlesoakwood]

Absolutely, take two blue pills and call back in the morning.

[Libertas]

The pills those POS's hand out to us, likely will require a call to the morgue!

 

[AlanS]

Absolutely, take two blue pills and call back in the morning.

This?



Or this?



If it's the latter, exhaustion may keep him from phoning.
