I've seen press reports saying Mitt Romney has moved to the "center". We all know that is bull shit.
Here is something that the media seems to have missed, at least I have not seen it talked about or covered anywhere. Mitt claims he has a Federal Plan for health care, and in the next breath claims the federal government should stay out of it and leave it up to the states. HUGE discrepancy in message that proves this "move to the center" is pure bullshit, and it was on full display in the debate. Yet, no one is talking about it.
In regards to Mitts BIG change on health care, every one is talking about how he now supports coverage for kids and pre-existing conditions, that he has "moved to the center". He went so far on several occasions during the debate, to say "My plan..." or "In my plan...." He is clearly referring to a federal solution when he talks about "HIS" plan for health care.
Here's an example. And I am not quoting directly but he said something close to 'In my plan, kids are still covered. And adults with pre-existing conditions are covered'. He is clearly referring to "HIS" plan for the nation, which infers that he has a Federal Plan for health care.
Here's how we know that is pure bull shit.
In the next breath, or a breath not more than a minute from the above dribble, he CLEARLY states, "this is a states issue. What we did in Massachusetts may not be right for other states. The states should do what works for them". The Federal Government should not be in the debate. Its a states issue.
OK, which is it? Do you have a Federal Plan that includes health care for kids and a guarantee for people with pre-existing conditions, or is it up to the states? Because these are opposing ideas. You cannot both guarantee coverage for kids and for all American's, and then leave it up to the states to craft what ever works for them. I suppose he could put out some stipulations that the states would have to follow in crafting a plan. But that is not what he is saying. He needs to be pushed on this lack of clarity.
I cannot believe this is not getting as much coverage as his flip-flop on taxes. This is a huge issue, and it is clear that he is bullshitting his way through this issue, with no plan at all except to repeal Obama Care. That is his only message on health care that did not involve lies, contradictions, and flat out bullshit.
Call him on this media. Do your job.
I am also looking forward to more health care ads. From his "federal" promise, to his states rights claims, to take an ambulance to the ER for your health care. This asshole has not had one message on health care that did not contradict the next message that comes out of his mouth.
The only thing we know for sure, is that he takes a tax break for a God damn dancing horse in the amount of 75,000.00 because it is a treatment for his wife's MS. That tax break for lady Ann's fucking dancing horse is more than most people earn in an entire year.
How about the ability to see a Doctor and get some basic health care for the rest of us? We are four weeks away from the election of the next President, and this guy is contradicting him self on health care, among other issues, right and left. He needs to be held to the fire. We need to hold him to the fire. He cannot get away with these lies.
The truth is that he has no plan for health care, except to repeal Obama Care. That is Mitt Romney's plan for health care.
