Let''''s phase-out employer provided health insurance. We''''d all be better off to be in control of purchasing our own plan. It''''d save busineeses bilions and they could increase wages.

You obviously haven''t priced an individually owned health insurance policy lately, or ever for that matter. It would cost the average family 2-3 times more than if it was offered through their employer. I know b/c I used to sell health insurance.

Call your agent and compare it to your company health plan if you have one. You''d be surprised. Don''t worry, I''ll wait here.

Romney, the Mormon Cult member is not being taken as a serious candidate by anybody except the dying breed known as the Neocon. Keeping health care in the hands of private insurers by deregulating the insurance industry is a guaranteed recipe for even higher costs to US, the consumer. Europe, Japan, and Canada spends one-half what the USA spends for health care with their government managed universal health care programs. They have few, if any waits in lines, as our fascist corporate media lies to US about everyday of the week. Europes healt care system is superior to Americas in everyway. Romney spousing "Europe" in the negative just goes to show how dumb the audience is that he is trying to reach. Romney is a pathetic liar, same as every Republicon I have ever known in my life.

Mitt has the proven experience because of his strong cross-functional experience. Mitt is the most qualified candidate to ever run for president.

I was a fanatic...I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair''s bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.
More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

Our Prophet commanded us to fight the kaafirs when we are able and to attack them in their homelands and to give them three choices before we enter their lands: either they become Muslim and be like us, sharing our rights and duties; or they pay the jizyah (poll tax) and feel themselves subdued; or they fight, in which case their wealth, women, children and homes become permissible as booty for the Muslims.

Mitt Romney is like all the other Republican candidates when it comes to health insurance. Keep the insurance in the hands of "private" insuramce companies so it will keep generating profits FOR THEM! And what about all those who have that catch-all "pre-existing conditions" clause that blasts your premiums into orbit, if the insurance company will insure you, that is!

What cracks me up is that Romney says American workers like the arrangement with employers who pay most of the insurance for their employees. He doesn''t mention that those excess premium costs flow straight down to the bottom line on a company''s income statement as "expenses" are are tax-deductible FOR THE COMPANY. The company also covers those costs by building them into the selling price of the product it sells and which YOU BUY! A nice "win-win" situation for business!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

Romney has good ideas, a man who can think and think about other things than skirt sniffing. Kinda refreshing compared to the half baked Obama fries, and the small Clinton breasts, and the other mental midgets who are running. But...he is the only Morman in America with only one wife.

OH PLEASE!! It''s the same tired *** we''ve been handed now for decades... He has no solutions only "Stay the Course". No change here! Right now we pay MORE than anyone in the entire WORLD for health care and that system cover''s LESS people... just handing more money to Insurance Companies will help ONLY those who already have more than they should.

+ report abuse

Right! Mit is nothing but a northern version of the Rich little brat we NOW have. He has no more knowledge of what the average working stiff goes through than the man in the moon. Let''s get real here folks. After 30 years of the same tired old "Trickle Down" Garbage what do we have? The LOWEST standard of living AND the worst healthcare PERIOD! We need a complete change in direction not more of the same.

All municipalities, local federal and state are going broke because of health care in their pension plans. Our city had to cut firefighters in order to pay for pensions granted in the 60''s.

Check out "Council on Foreign Relations" and see what Ron Paul is trying to tell the American citizens. He knows what he is talking about!

Romney''s plan sounds good but it seems like we''d all be better off to phase out employer provided healthcare.
