Romney's new "Etch-a-sketch" moment. Obamacare.

[Full-Auto]

On Meet the Press, David Gregory asked Romney about elements of ObamaCare that were both popular and he was seeking to repeal. Suprisingly (Well not really), Romney said he wasn't going to repeal them.

Really?

Recently, Mitt Romney restated a number of positions those of us who’ve been paying attention have known about for some time in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, as the Associated Press reports. He noted that his health reform plan would, like PPACA, seek to “make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage,” and that he agreed that young adults should be allowed to remain covered under their parents’ health insurance policies. He also said that “we’re not going to have high-income people pay less of the tax burden than they pay today,” i.e., his tax reform will aim to maintain the current progressivity of the federal personal income tax.

He also dropped the word "repeal" for the interview.

No he didn't. He CLEARLY said repeal and replace.

Gramps its a lefty reach around thread.

Bring up the justice dept and watch the low life abandon ship.

Romney may have just lost the election today over Obamacare. In 2010 over two million Ohio voters rejected Obamacare in a referendum. His remarks yesterday may just switch some Ohio votes to Gary Johnson, costing him the state.

 

[Eaglewings]

He didn't need to say it. Greggory said it for him in the preface of the question. As for your fears they won't replace it, well it's just that....your fear and opinion. Nothing more

Actually..I just looked at it again..and was about to post he didn't say it.

David Gregory asked him about it..and he said something like "obviously, we are not getting rid of all of it".

Really?

That's not what he's been saying up until this point.

He has always said there were good parts in it that should be included in its replacement. If you're not hearing it maybe you should........

Change the channel dupe lol

Thing is Gramps, healthcare are not his priority so he would just try to dump it. The Rich tax cuts are his priority, and will give a shit if the sick peasants die off.

Mitt Romney made it perfectly clear on the Meet the Depressed that he wasn't and will not give tax cuts to the rich.. In fact, he will be removing deductions and loop holes.. He said it NUMEROUS times.. so your revisionist history, propaganda, distortions, and absolute lies do nothing but makes you look foolish. Your class warfare tactic is duly noted. On a side note, were you take every dime of every millioniare in this nation and apply it to OBAMA'S 6 trillion dollar run up, we'd still have a deficit and debt.. it's called UNCONTROLLED ENTITLEMENT SPENDING. Your ignorance is astounding. WTG!

That's not how it would go down.

The repeal would be done through budget reconciliation..because that's the only way to do it.

Once gone..that's it.

Except he can't name one deduction or loophole that he would remove.

I'm sure all of us had to rethink Obamacare when the Supreme Court said it was law since it was a tax levy.

In fact, the tax hike turns out to be the largest tax hike on the American Middle Class in the history of our country and the world, for that matter.

So as law, Romney must give law due respect, now that he is leader of the Republicans, whose platform has traditionally support for the rule of law. We can do nothing about what the law is, but we can accommodate it by working to improve it rather than to completely take it out.

Only if America sees fit to give us a majority in the House and the Senate can we totally remake Obama Care.

Americans will act in their own best interests on November 6 this year. I am so not psychic, and I do not know what the outcome will be. I was disappointed that my candidate Govornor Perry from my native state did not make it through the primaries, but after Romney was picked, I started looking at his Issues page. At first, it was only 1 page. Now, it is multiply-linked to every issue on the American horizon in spades (lol). Romney, the guy who gave $3 million to charity every year he hit it big by good investments and wise decisions to make the businesses go forward.

Here is what his website, adjusted for the USSC decision a month or so ago shows, which is in accordance with the rule of law that all of us Republicans do our best to support:

Mitt's Healthcare Plan
​

On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.

In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government’s role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition.

Restore State Leadership and Flexibility
​

Mitt will begin by returning states to their proper place in charge of regulating local insurance markets and caring for the poor, uninsured, and chronically ill. States will have both the incentive and the flexibility to experiment, learn from one another, and craft the approaches best suited to their own citizens.

• Block grant Medicaid and other payments to states
• Limit federal standards and requirements on both private insurance and Medicaid coverage
• Ensure flexibility to help the uninsured, including public-private partnerships, exchanges, and subsidies
• Ensure flexibility to help the chronically ill, including high-risk pools, reinsurance, and risk adjustment
• Offer innovation grants to explore non-litigation alternatives to dispute resolution

Promote Free Markets and Fair Competition
​

Competition drives improvements in efficiency and effectiveness, offering consumers higher quality goods and services at lower cost. It can have the same effect in the health care system, if given the chance to work.

• Cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits
• Empower individuals and small businesses to form purchasing pools
• Prevent discrimination against individuals with pre-existing conditions who maintain continuous coverage
• Facilitate IT interoperability

Empower Consumer Choice
​

For markets to work, consumers must have the information and the power to make decisions about their own care. Placing the patient at the center of the process will drive quality up and cost down while ensuring that services are designed to provide what Americans actually want.

• End tax discrimination against the individual purchase of insurance
• Allow consumers to purchase insurance across state lines
• Unshackle HSAs by allowing funds to be used for insurance premiums
• Promote "co-insurance" products
• Promote alternatives to "fee for service"
• Encourage "Consumer Reports"-type ratings of alternative insurance plans

Isn't it great! I'm a retired senior now, and can't wait till Mitt Romney is President Mitt Romney!

I don't want my care to be a burden on future generations.

Of course not - he wants to keep all the parts in the bill people like and just get rid of the other parts in the bill that PAY for those parts people like.

He doesn't have to. He's listed everything in his Issues section, online. Just one of 30 aspects has an 87-page PDF explaining it linked at Mitt Romney for President | Mitt Romney for President of the United States of America in 2012 . Just click to continue until his homepage appears. Click on Issues. There's nothing there that you cannot see about what Mitt Romney has planned for getting government spending under control to an amount we, the American people, can pay for.

President Obama promised to cut the deficit in half. He now has doubled the deficit and more. The size of the national debt is now at $16 trillion dollars, and rising by millions each hour. You can watch it for a minute at this link: The National Debt Clock in Real time

We have to get a grip and only spend what we have to spend on Obamacare to take care of veterans, seniors, handicapped, and short-term unemployed. We have to be very careful about putting people on the government tit for 75 years per lifetime. We can't sustain that kind of a gift, but some people are demanding to live lives of leisure now. I'm so sorry, but a government is not "Make-a-Wish Foundation" to promote politicians who pave the road for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to drive their "Put in Billions" armered cars up to benefit their constituents and relatives into getting free investment guarantees in the Solyndras and Desert Solar projects of the last decade which put the American people under needless tonnage, literally, billions of dollars in freebees to participating handout-takers.

So he'll be raising taxes on the rich?

Which deductions and loopholes will he be getting rid of?

Come on, Dr. Doh. You know the rules. Republicans observe the rule of law. After the Supreme Court made their surprising find that the Obamacare Law actually was a tax hike on the Middle Class, they knew that is a Constitutional duty of the Congress and left it alone for them to correct portions of their law that is not Constitutional.

I think that was a friendly, but firm reminder to the Congress to next time, read before passing a law. When Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed Obamacare rule with words to the effect "Don't read, just pass to find out what's inside," she forgot to mention it effects a plan to unionize all aspects of Healthcare, which literally puts conservatives under the gun.

We think that "all men are created equal" and shouldn't have to be put under the Union's gun at whim against anybody who stands between them and their quest for more wealth than they are entitled to.

Everybody needs health care. Not everybody can afford to pay a union's unending quest to have every last nickel of every last dollar placed into their pockets.

I'm sorry. Union people work very hard, but their quest for the highest salaries in the world while being cushied through life with everybody else's money is not something a government should involve itself in except to say, it cannot manufacture jobs, because then there'd be no taxes to collect, all money being tied up in lining Democrat pockets.

Taxpayers are tired of seeing Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid line up their armored cars in front of the treasury to take home to their families and friends in California and Nevada through green businesses only, which are not coming through with cheap alternatives to fossil fuels. They just aren't.

No he didn't. He CLEARLY said repeal and replace.

New estimates for the middle-class who wanted it:

Nearly 6 million Americans -- most of them in the middle class -- will face a tax penalty for not carrying medical coverage once President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law is fully in place, congressional budget analysts said Wednesday.

The new estimate amounts to an inconvenient fact for the administration, a reminder of what critics see as broken promises.

The numbers from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are significantly higher than a previous projection by the same office in 2010, shortly after the law passed.

So the dem plan was not to provide help but to tax those less fortunate.
