"We insist that everybody who drives a car has insurance," Romney said in an interview. "And cars are a lot less expensive than people."
After watching Sicko, I wondered about how the Hillary plan would work out: I mean, one can hardly call the kind of HMO money she raked in from lobbyists a sign of impending "socialized medicine". The HMO's are not going to pay for their own obsolescence, right?
Evidentally, the Hillary plan is a lot like the Romney plan:
"Despite all that, experts say Clinton's plan borrows heavily from one Romney signed into law when he was governor of Massachusetts, which made the liberal state the first in the United States with near-universal health insurance.
That similarity could be fodder for Romney's rivals vying to be the 2008 Republican presidential nominee.
'Hillary's plan is just like the Massachusetts plan. There's not a whole lot of difference', said Jonathan Gruber, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor who was an adviser to Romney on the state's health care reform law.
Like Clinton's plan, the law Romney signed in April 2006 is underpinned by an 'individual mandate' compelling people to buy health insurance. Both plans entail subsidies and government regulations...".
Ahhha! So, in effect, the way to insure all Americans have access to medical care is to make it illegal to not have health insurance, a gift to the HMO's.
Jesus Christ. How "progressive".
