This week, Priorities USA Action, a super PAC run by former Obama advisor Bill Burton (who is surely not "coordinating" his efforts with the Obama campaign, because that would be tsk-tsk illegal!) put out a brutal attack ad. It tied the activities of Bain Capital to the death of a woman who lost her health care coverage as a result of her husband losing his job at GST Steel, one of the celebrated casualties of Bain's business practices. But on Fox News this morning, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul went "off-script," and amid a larger declaration about the ad being despicable and some pushback on the facts of the ad, she offered this statement in Romney's defense: "To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney's health care plan, they would have had health care." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/08/andrea-saul-romney-health-care_n_1757550.html http://DTPollard.com
Similarly, at an event in Iowa today, Romney seemed to suggest his bill qualifies him to tackle reforming Obama’s bill: “We’ve got to do some reforms in health care, and I have some experience doing that as you know, and I know how to make a better setting than the one we have in health care.”
I don't have an issue with what she said. It was correct. It will however be spun out of control by the disingenuous Obama supporters. The true issue is the difference between residents/voters of a state deciding if they want a state health care plan, versus the federal government deciding for them. State vs Federal.
No I'm talking to you. You're the one screaming about Bain Capital laying off workers when obama does it too.
good so romney can make the case only Mass. voters deserve his groovy healthcare plan. and if its about the feds not deciding.....why would Mitt say... “We’ve got to do some reforms in health care, and I have some experience doing that as you know"
