Romney: Overturning health care law 'right thing' | Political Headlines | Comcast

Mitt Romney says he hopes the Supreme Court does "the right thing" and strikes down President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee tells donors at a fundraising reception in Atlanta that the health care law hurts small businesses and costs too much.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the law's constitutionality later this month.

Romney said Monday that he hopes the justices, in his words, "do the right thing and turn this thing down."

As Massachusetts governor, Romney signed into law a measure that forces state residents to purchase health insurance. The so-called individual mandate is at the heart of the Supreme Court case.

The Romney campaign says it raised more than $3 million Monday night in Georgia

And get rid of Obama....

 

[Mad Scientist]

If the Supreme Court doesn't strike it down and Romney gets elected, he'll look for every excuse to not do anything about it either.

 

[Katzndogz]

Overturning obamacare is the right thing to do. If the Court will not do it, it can be done legislatively. Everyone who does not want obamacare should vote for Romney.

LOL Healthcare is great for Lebanon. Who is this guy?

Obamacare is based on Romneycare.

This has to be the biggest flip-flop of all.

Romney outlines plan to make health-care system like ‘consumer market’ - The Washington Post

The Obama campaign hit back at Romney’s policy view in a statement Tuesday: “This morning, Mitt Romney promised that if he’s elected, insurance companies will be able to discriminate against Americans with pre-existing conditions, charge women higher premiums than they charge men for the same coverage, and kick young adults off their parents’ plans when they graduate high school or college. . . . For too long, American families have faced a choice between going bankrupt to afford the care they need or going without that care at all, and Mitt Romney wants to take us back to that time.”

 

[Katzndogz]

Of course Romneycare has nothing to do with obamacare. The people of Massachusettes wanted state controlled health care. Romney as governor of that state gave them a workable plan. That is what he was supposed to do as governor. The people of the United States don't want universal health care and if they did, the people of Wyoming don't want the same thing as the people of New York.

If men and women had the same coverage, either men would have coverage for costs of childbirth or women would not have those expenses as insurance paid. Parents covering "children" on their insurance is rather disingenuous isn't it? After all we are not talking about children but adults approaching middle age. Why stop at 26, why not 50, after all they are still children.

"Offspring" is the word you are looking for.

Middle aged offspring will do.

I've been working since age 13 and on my own since 15, the idea that infancy can be extended to nearly 30 is really abhorrent. One can only imagine the helplessness of a person expecting childhood to last until nearly 30 when a parent dies and there is no foster family to take them in.

Oh, good. And your experience is of course the universal experience, and this country was in the EXACT same place then as it is now.

Right?

The self centered narcissism, the lack of empathy, the loss of American moral values, all are a part of a sad world whose cause is hard to decipher. When did America lose her heart, her soul, and her sense. Or even why?

This is Mitt Romney's weakness if I may split hairs. He doesn't always relate on a personal level.

Yes Obamacare does tend hurt business but that is not the reason it's unconstitutional (at least if the SC voted based soley on that aspect that might not be the case but that is unconstitutional though). It's unconstitutional and especially reprehensible b/c the government is telling us what we have to do and b/c the government is insert themselves directly into our personal health care.

Well, no doubt Americans have been kept in an state of extended development today whereas at one time childen were supposed to grow up and be adults. Maintaining full grown adults in a protracted state of childhood might be very modern but does no one any good, least of all the "child".

These misguided childen and the asinine absurd government supporting them are really making an untentable future. People are waiting longer and longer to have children, making then way older than their parents and certainly grandparents were when those children became adults. We will have children, unable to yet care for themselves, relying on parents who are themselves 70 or nearing so. Hopefully still working so they will have some employment insurance to maintain those adult children. Not that this is the worst situation. The worst situation is where the irresponsible "kids" who are unable to care for themselvs become mental and emotional children having children of their own and expect those 60 something parents to care for them and their children, and perhaps partners as well. All of this presupposes that the parents of perpetual children will live in good health and working ability indefinitely. There is no foster care system for the 20 or 25 year old college student or newly shoved out of the nest 26 year old fledgling who cannot yet sustain themselves. Quite obviously, the government must step in as the ultimate parent and provide for self made children until when?

One of the complaints coming out of Greece is from adults who lived off parents. When the parents died, they inherited whatever dole their parents got. When the government was required to end these programs thousands of people who were maintained as children their entire lives simply had no way to live. They are in complete desperation. Is this the modern world you expect to get from protracted childhood?

We haven't, the lst two elections repudiate Progressivism....and 67% of Americans want Obamacare gone.

 

[Greenbeard]

Obamacare is based on Romneycare.

With respect to the coverage pieces, yes. Which means we might be tempted to look to the Massachusetts experience to get a sense of whether this method of expanding coverage kills jobs:

Thus, there is no evidence of a more pronounced decline in overall employment in Massachusetts than in the rest of the nation over the 2006–2010 period, nor is there evidence of a more pronounced decline among the small firms, industries, and workers, where such declines would be predicted if health reform had dampened economic growth in the state.Although there are differences in the details between the Massachusetts health reform and the ACA, there are broad similarities that indicate that the impacts could be roughly similar under the ACA. The evidence from Massachusetts would suggest that national health reform does not imply job loss and stymied economic growth.

Does Mittens disagree, one wonders. That is to say, does he think that as governor he passed a set of "job killing" health reforms?

Seriously. America is the most generous nation on the planet. But we have a bunch of baffoons thinking that free lunches are part of life. F'ing moron libtards.

Keep bringing up Obamacare, Willard.
Obama is going to throw your Massachusetts health care bill in your face repeatedly.

Hey wait, isn't that romney putting pressure on the supreme court to do what he wants? He is trying to influence their decision as the potential next president of the US.

Oh no, that only works on Obama....sorry go on with what you were saying.

Whoops, turns out this was a moot question before I asked it. The days of Obamacare being "job-killing" are over.

Speaker John Boehner recently told Republicans in a private meeting to change their tone on health care and fast: stop using “job-killing” to describe the Obama health care law.

Instead, emphasize that the law drives up costs and makes things worse for small businesses.

Why? The job-killing message was polling poorly, sources said.

Apparently "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act" was a dumb name for H.R. 2. Whoda thunk it?
