Ignorance, GOP Falsehoods on Obama-Care Doomed the Measure, NYTimes Reporters Claim

Mitt Romney in Virginia: "As you know the Supreme Court is going to be dealing with whether or not Obamacare is constitutional. If it is not – if Obamacare is not deemed constitutional - then the first three and a half years of this president’s term would have been wasted on something that has not helped the American people. If it is deemed to stand then I’ll tell you one thing we are going to have to have a president, and I am that one, that is going to get rid of Obamacare and we are going to stop it on day one."

Let's replay that last part:
If it is deemed to stand then I’ll tell you one thing we are going to have to have a president, and I am that one, that is going to get rid of Obamacare and we are going to stop it on day one.

A guy that touts his ideas about being constitutionality fair would wipe out something that is found to be constitutional.
Of course he never brought up what he would replace it with because "his plan" simply doesn't exist.
Just "beat Obama". We don't have plans for anything...just win an election
(and if Romney does win, TRY to do it legitimate this time, eh Dubya)

If it's found to be constitutional, then he has the right to defund it... erase it.

As far as Mitt not "having a plan".... you don't do any research, do you? It's easy to find if you look for it. Instead, you spout off with an opinion and nothing more.

So..................

Mitt's Plan

On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.

In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government’s role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition.



Mitt will begin by returning states to their proper place in charge of regulating local insurance markets and caring for the poor, uninsured, and chronically ill. States will have both the incentive and the flexibility to experiment, learn from one another, and craft the approaches best suited to their own citizens.

• Block grant Medicaid and other payments to states
  
• Limit federal standards and requirements on both private insurance and Medicaid coverage
  
• Ensure flexibility to help the uninsured, including public-private partnerships, exchanges, and subsidies
  
• Ensure flexibility to help the chronically ill, including high-risk pools, reinsurance, and risk adjustment
  
• Offer innovation grants to explore non-litigation alternatives to dispute resolution
  

Competition drives improvements in efficiency and effectiveness, offering consumers higher quality goods and services at lower cost. It can have the same effect in the health care system, if given the chance to work.

• Cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits
  
• Empower individuals and small businesses to form purchasing pools
  
• Prevent discrimination against individuals with pre-existing conditions who maintain continuous coverage
  
• Facilitate IT interoperability
  

For markets to work, consumers must have the information and the power to make decisions about their own care. Placing the patient at the center of the process will drive quality up and cost down while ensuring that services are designed to provide what Americans actually want.

• End tax discrimination against the individual purchase of insurance
  
• Allow consumers to purchase insurance across state lines
  
• Unshackle HSAs by allowing funds to be used for insurance premiums
  
• Promote "co-insurance" products
  
• Promote alternatives to "fee for service"
  
• Encourage "Consumer Reports"-type ratings of alternative insurance plans
  

Sounds a HELL of a lot better than Obama's government takeover of healthcare.
