Romney why i would repeal obamacare

Moreover, Romney seems to be praising Obamacare's effects of dramatically reducing the nation's uninsured rate. Romney's much-belated concession came in comments he made to the Boston Globe about the death Friday of his friend Thomas Stemberg, the founder of Staples , the office supply giant that was founded with backing from Bain Capital, Romney's former investment firm.

Romney told the Globe that soon after he was elected governor in late , Stemberg asked him why he had run.

When Romney said he did so to help people, "Stemberg replied that if he really wanted to help, he should give everyone access to health care, which Romney said he hadn't really considered before," the Globe article said. But a lot of it, including the hated individual mandate, does not.

Repealing the exchanges and subsides without repealing the mandate and the other regulations and cost controls in the law would create a health-care Frankenstein that a President Romney would be rather nuts to support. But today the Court did two things that make repeal of the A. They were correct.

Some send uninsured people to clinics for care, others send them to emergency rooms. What I would do is keep—as we have today—state responsibility for those that are uninsured.

You see I believe in the 10th Amendment. I believe the states have responsibility to care for their people in the way they feel best. But to help states care for their own uninsured, I would take the Medicaid dollars that comes with all sorts of strings attached today, send them back to the states along with something known as the DSH money, and let states care for their own people in the way they think best.

That—in my view—is the best way to care for the uninsured. And states will learn from each other, and some will have good experiences and others will not. I want to get health care to act more like a consumer market, meaning like the things we deal with every day in our lives: The purchases of tires, of automobiles, of air filters, of all sorts of products.
