Former Governor Romney goes to great lengths in a Wall Street Journal article entitled “Where Hillary Care Goes Wrong,” (WSJ op/ed, p. A-13, Sept 20,2007) to dispel the notion that the healthcare plan he signed into law (Romney Care) as he was leaving office in 2006 is essentially similar to Hillary Clinton’s recently unveiled “universal” healthcare plan.
Romney says, “Let’s be clear here: My plan in Massachusetts worked very differently from the way Senator Clinton’s plan would.” Actually, his plan was quite similar to Hillary’s “universal” plan-paradoxically titled “Healthy Choices”– in that it increased government mandates, regulation, costs, and bureaucracy with less choice for consumers. It was also the same plan that was praised by Hillary herself (Ted Kennedy too).
