All three pages of it.
And that is PART of the problem, that it takes three pages to
explain what to most of those who are upset enough to want an
explanation would want explained in about two sentences.... or
less.
The other part of the problem is that even after reading the
explanation, I was less than persuaded that it was a "good
idea," which is the way Romney tries to present it.
It would be far better for Romney to say something along the
following line: "Folks it was an approach which never should
have been taken, but given the fact that I was dealing with a
very liberal legislature which wanted to do even more foolish
things, I worked with lawmakers to get a plan passed with would
be least harmful for the state. Would I do it again?
Certainly, if the same situation presented itself in
Massachusets, but I have opposed ObamaCare from the start and
would dismantle it immediately on taking office."
That might work. The "explanation" at that link will not.
(I do agree with Dave's post for what should be done on the
national level, but a governor has virtually no ability to
repeal the federal legislation requiring hospitals to provide
emergency medical care regardless of ability to pay.)

A state governor can not affect federal legislation, but that is
no reason to make things worse in your state because of it.

Which only proves, once again, that fiction is more popular than
nonfiction.

The FBI is trying to get a sample of the unibomber in connection
with the Tylinol case.
Do we not collect samples of DNA for all convicted prisoners?
If not, why not. It is certainly not any more invasive than
taking their fingerprints.

Oh no, it's all in the delivery. If airing Obama's speeches
were all it took then CSPAN would lead the league.
