"Our experience also demonstrates that getting every citizen insured doesn't have to break the bank"

Our experience also demonstrates that getting every citizen insured doesn't have to break the bank. First, we established incentives for those who were uninsured to buy insurance. Using tax penalties, as we did, or tax credits, as others have proposed, encourages "free riders" to take responsibility for themselves rather than pass their medical costs on to others. This doesn't cost the government a single dollar. Second, we helped pay for our new program by ending an old one — something government should do more often. The federal government sends an estimated $42 billion to hospitals that care for the poor: Use those funds instead to help the poor buy private insurance, as we did.

Mitt Romney, 2009

Read it and laugh, (or cry) about how far Willard has gone down on his knees to kiss the Tea bag folks.

1. I know, I know, reading Willard's own words about Romneycare

It kind of smarts, when we realize, that in less than 3.5 years, Romney would rather those words were not in print, as would every other Republican and independent who supports that slime bag.

But hey! I bring you the GREATEST READS of the Republican candidate for President!

His words, in print, in USA Today, don't blame me for pointing them out!

Read the whole thing and laugh, or cry.

The wonderful and inspiring words of Mitt Romney in 2009.
