Romney's Talents on Full Display

As you may or may not know, I am one of Governor Romney's biggest "fans" and have been touting him as the 2008 Republican nominee for President for at least two and a half years now. His latest achievement is but one reason why I firmly believe him to be exactly what we as a country will need by the time the next election rolls along.

MA has recently been known as being the "first in the nation" for quite a few things. However, I am finally happy to report that for once, the preface "First in the nation" is followed by something we can all be very proud of.

You see, under Romney's astute leadership, the MA state legislature has passed the first in the nation mandatory "universal" healthcare plan. Under the new law which was passed overwhelmingly and will be signed shortly, every MA citizen must obtain and maintain personal health insurance.

While I am not crazy about the government ordering me to do anything, I applaud Governor Romney for his creative problem solving and insistence on personal responsibility and self pride.
While the entire bill is a bit much to explain here, the general idea is to take the one billion a year currently spent in tax dollars paying for the uninsured and put it in a pool of sorts to be dispersed to help the uninsured become insured. You can hear the Governor explain the bill at www.foxnews.com which has his appearance from this mornings "Fox and Friends."

While change is difficult for most, ultimately this bill will be a win-win situation. Those without insurance will now have their choice of options offered by private companies such as Blue Cross, not state offered welfare MA Health . The hospitals will no longer eat costs. Insurance companies acquire more customers and theoretically, the overall price of premiums should decrease.

Time will be the true test of its success but here is but one glowing example of how Governor Romney approaches problems without ever raising taxes, penalizing businesses or overburdening the less fortunate.

GO MITT!
