Romneys Big Healthcare Lie

Romney was never able to answer why the same market intervention and distortions mandates, subsidies, and Medicaid which form the bedrock of Obamacare , supposedly worked so well in Massachusetts. The reason he couldnt answer the question is because Romneycare was a complete failure. It is the canary in the coal mine for Obamacare.
The reality is that Romneycare did not merely affect the 8% that were uninsured, as Romney has suggested; it punished everyone with record high premiums. It is incontrovertibly clear that MassCare has engendered the highest premiums in the nation,while dumping thousands of people onto federally funded Medicaid and disincentivizing people not to earn more money.
