Romney - Massachusetts was the *only* state where the uninsured just went to the hospital
Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 04:36 AM by underpants
Now, number two, what we face in our state is different than what other states face. What we had is a lot of people who found that they could simply stop getting insurance, go to the hospital, and get free care paid for by the people, paid for by taxpayers. We were spending hundreds of millions of dollars in our state giving care to people who in some cases could afford to take care of themselves.

And we said, you know what? You've either got to get insurance, if you can afford it, or you're going to have to help pay the cost of providing that care to your -- to you. And that was the approach that we took.

1. "You've either got to get insurance, if you can afford it"
Sounds familiar, yet they all stood there and criticized Health Care Reform.
