On Wednesday, President Barack Obama will travel to Boston where he will tout the experience of Massachusetts as a state leader in reforming their health care system. You recall, Massachusetts was the model upon which the Affordable Care Act was based. You will further recall that it was former Gov. Mitt Romney who signed the state’s health care reform bill in 2006.
Romney's response;
“In the years since the Massachusetts health care law went into effect nothing has changed my view that a plan crafted to fit the unique circumstances of a single state should not be grafted onto the entire country,” he wrote.
“Beyond that, had President Obama actually learned the lessons of Massachusetts health care, millions of Americans would not lose the insurance they were promised they could keep, millions more would not see their premiums skyrocket, and the installation of the program would not have been a frustrating embarrassment,” Romney continued.
“Health reform is best crafted by states with bipartisan support and input from its employers, as we did, without raising taxes, and by carefully phasing it in to avoid the type of disruptions we are seeing nationally,” he concluded.
Mediate's thoughts on situation:
It is hard to imagine a more embarrassing admission of utter failure than for the recently reelected President of the United States to attempt to resurrect the political corpse of his defeated opponent less than one year after burying it in an attempt to look better by comparison.
