I agree with Sharon, who put this on Facebook and then I stole it. This sounds like single-payer to me: Everybody in. Nobody out.

Gotta love Mittens! He has no clue what comments like that imply.
Well…I don’t know if “socialized” would be accurate.
Healthcare in Israel
The term “socialized” when used to describe healthcare systems usually refers to healthcare systems like the NHS in Great Britain, where the government owns and manages facilities and employs or contracts with the workers, including doctors. (By this definition Single Payer is not “socialized” healthcare either. Single Payer advocates avoid using the term because of the negative connotations associated with that word in the United States.)
So I’m not sure Israelis would consider their highly efficient and effective healthcare system “socialized” even if it does put patients before profits. I think they have more of a German style “all-payer” system, (started by none other than Otto Von Bismarck).
Let’s not forget that Mittens has a point. We need to rein in healthcare costs and we need to extend healthcare to everyone.
And, as Mittens himself admits, he doesn’t have a clue how to do that. At one time, he thought RomneyCare was the answer.
FAIL!
But he stood by it until The First Black President of the United States put his name on it. Now he’s promising to repeal it and replace it with…well…something that doesn’t have the name Obama on it…that’s for certain.
The newest Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll reports, among other things, a majority of the respondents are tired of listening to politicians spread the cow butter over healthcare reform.
Mittens is a perfect example of why.
Our political landscape is turning into a Warner Bros. Cartoon.
Not even a good one. One of the edited-for-political-correctness-by-Ted-Turner ones.
He reads a script of talking points but doesn’t own the words. Robotic Romney. So wrong!
