Hillary Health Care 2.0 Similar to Romney’s Health Care Plan Part Two
A combination image shows (L) Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and (R) Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Hillary Clinton. Experts say Clinton’s health plan borrows heavily from one Romney signed into law when he was governor of Massachusetts, which made the liberal state the first in the United States with near-universal health insurance.

Yes they are similar, because Hillary couldn’t get hers passed she had to use Mitt’s Plan. However they are very different at 2 levels:
1. Romney uses private health care providers instead of having the government provide the coverage
2. His got passed, Hillary’s didn’t.
Mitt’s plan at the Federal level is again very different:
1. The plans are provided at a State level; not federal government level.
2. Again Romney supports using private health care insurance; not a federal government health care program.
This difference is very important. What ever government gets it hands on is terrible. No customer service, no cost effectiveness, waste, waste, waste. Private companies can’t stay in business so they have to be competitive. Having a state negotiate with several providers keeps costs down and service high.

And what about the federal mandate?
Mitt 1.0 had it and now?
