Since Medicaid is a Federal program requiring a certain percentage of Federal to State dollars to provide health care to the poor, either 1. Taxachuettes got a waiver to use federal money to subsidize health insurance policies for the poor, which means they were also obligated to put in money themselves thus negating the need of those who have health insurance to subsidize those who can’t pay or 2. Taxachuettes essentially cancelled Medicaid, no longer requiring Federal and State dollars since those with health insurance were required by the law to subsidize those who can not pay via their premiums.

If it is #2, then Taxachuettes pockets all the money they would have spent on Medicaid which would have 1. given them a surplus, 2. given the reduction in State taxes to it’s citizens or 3. they kept the money and turned around to expand other government spending to balance the budget.

1. Provide abortion on demand services affordable ($50) to the poor, subsidized by the taxpayer (in this case the insurance premium) as mandated by their coverage benefits. – confirmed

2. Balance the Taxachuettes fiscal budget by shoving off the Medicaid cost directly onto the taxpayer in the form of insurance premiums. All residents of Taxachuettes are required to buy health insurance, those who meet the means test are subsidized by the premiums of those who don’t qualify. Hence no State tax money goes to pay for medical care for the poor, the premium payers are paying it. So what happened to the money the State of Taxachuettes no longer has to spend on indigent care/Medicaid?????????????????? Ding, ding, ding, ding, you got it, chaching! It stays with the State treasury and covers any short fall in budget funding. Now you see why politicians are looking at RomneyCare, it screws the taxpayer twice and they didn’t even realize it.

3. All illegal aliens are covered under RomneyCare, they must buy health insurance as well. Guess who gets to subsidize their policies, ding, ding, ding, ding. If you said the suckers of Taxachuettes, you would be right. Oh, the gift that keeps on giving….

it stated the following: My position has changed and I have acknowledged that. How that came about is that several years ago, in the course of the stem-cell-research debate I met with a pair of experts from Harvard…

Then he stated: …And from that point forward, I said to the people of Massachusetts, “I will continue to honor what I pledged to you, but I prefer to call myself pro-life.” The state of Massachusetts is a pro-choice state and when I campaigned for governor I said that I would not change the law on abortion.

So he was a self professed Pro-lifer years before in 2002 when he signed RomneyCare into Law in 2006!

Nice work here, really good post.

Neither door puts the “epiphanied-Mitt” in a good light.

Very interesting post. I look forward to part 2. Then again, I personally have never considered Mitt a viable candidate worthy of doing battle with the Clinton Campaign Machine

There is a lot to digest here; I am looking forward to the rest.
