December 2, 1993 - Leading conservative operative William Kristol
privately circulates a strategy document to Republicans in Congress. Kristol
writes that congressional Republicans should work to "kill" -- not amend -- the
Clinton plan because it presents a real danger to the Republican future: Its
passage will give the Democrats a lock on the crucial middle-class vote and
revive the reputation of the party. Nearly a full year before Republicans will
unite behind the "Contract With America," Kristol has provided the rationale and
the steel for them to achieve their aims of winning control of Congress and
becoming America's majority party. Killing health care will serve both ends. The
timing of the memo dovetails with a growing private consensus among Republicans
that all-out opposition to the Clinton plan is in their best political interest.
Until the memo surfaces, most opponents prefer behind-the-scenes warfare largely
shielded from public view. The boldness of Kristol's strategy signals a new turn
in the battle. Not only is it politically acceptable to criticize the Clinton
plan on policy grounds, it is also politically advantageous. By the end of 1993,
blocking reform poses little risk as the public becomes increasingly fearful of
what it has heard about the Clinton plan.

I'm almost certain that most conservatives were supporting Santorum and Gingrich during the primaries in spite of Romney Care. The establishment republicans were the ones who got their candidate nominated, not conservatives.

That's neither here or there Romney is the Candidate.
We should know what our Hero President is going to do to us.
So All you Romney aka Republicans and Libertarians who will vote no Democrat come on be bigger and more mentally healthy than average and tell us what Romney Care is all about!
If you can.. I am beginning to doubt you all can.. Prove me wrong.

How can you ask conservatives to defend something they fundamentally disagree with? It doesn't make any sense. Whats motivating conservatives to vote for Romney is because ObamaCare has rationing panels, takes over 700 billion out of Medicare, 4 new taxes in it, and burdensome new regulations for small business.

Well, if you listened to the debate, his plan was to give the medicare/medicaide funds directly to the states so the states can decide how to administer their healthcare programs.
He also pledged to put the 716 billion dollars Obama looted from Medicare back into the system.

Well, I came away from all the information on Romney care and I figure that the basis of it is the visit to the Emergency room at the local hospital!
I have a story about how expensive a prescription of antibiotics was for me at an Emergency Room.
That is IF I can get a Republican to care to listen to me as I am the working poor.

Is that what you do? Do you have experience in doing this?
Remember you are actually telling real people how they will live and die here.
Unlike Romney on Debate you need to lead us to the light. Can you do it?

Romney Care is for the people in Massachusetts, it does not affect you in your life at all what so ever. If the people in Mass. like the law, then what business is it of yours to tell them they can't have it?

Romny wants to keep Medicare alive for the short term. Romeny wants to give people vouchers, that can only be used on healthcare, to retirees to use toward purchasing their own health care all while keeping medicare as a viable option for rewtirees. a retirees healthcare choice might cost less than, equal to, or more than what the voucher is worth, but the choice is left up to them on who they choose. Romeney feels that if left up to the private sector, there would be fierce competition for the persons voucher and this would create a better product at a lower price. this idea reflects the republican ideal that it is the individual's right and responsibility to choose what is best for themselves in a free market with some regulation. the problem with this system is if the voucher value alone does not guarantee good care.
Obama doesn't talk about Medicare's future except that he is going to extend it for 8 years. this, while he is going to shave $700 billion from medicare's budget to initially finance Obamacare. Obama is going to cut back on Medicare to a degree so that the current provisioning will last an extra 8 years, but again does not talk about what lies after that. this represents the democratic ideal that citizens should be protected from business by a high level of government which produces a more reliable product. the problem with this system is that, for the government, money is not an object.
