Commonwealth Care is apparently a new fundraising tool -- for
Fred Thompson. Todd Harris, Thompson Communications Director, sends
out this:
"Mitt Romney says his government-mandated health care plan is
one of his most important accomplishments as governor. But what
does his plan really accomplish, and is this the kind of health
care plan YOU would want to be forced to pay for? Today, November
15th, Massachusetts residents who fail to register with the
government and show proof of health care coverage will be slapped
with a tax penalty for this year! For individuals, the amount will
be on average $219 this year and they will receive a punitive fine
as much as $2,000 over the next year. Small business owner? It's
even worse; you'll be fined $295 per employee who isn't enrolled in
Romney's government-mandated health care plan! So what sort of
services does Romney's health care plan provide?
"Per the state website: $50 co-pay for abortions
"While court mandate requires Massachusetts to cover 'medically
necessary' abortions in state-subsidized health plans, Mitt
Romney's plan covers ALL abortions - no restrictions. After it
passed, Romney vetoed dental care for Medicaid recipients from his
health plan, but did nothing to prevent coverage of abortion on
demand for a mere $50. Romney has tried to distance himself from
his Hillarycare-type plan, but you can watch the video where he
takes full credit.[Video is here.]
There's nothing conservative about Mitt Romney's health care plan.
It's a government subsidized health care plan that requires
citizens to register with the state, slaps working people with tax
penalties, and provides $50 abortions on demand.
"Contrast this with Fred: 100% pro-life voting record. Has said
repeatedly that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Opposes embryonic
stem cell research and human cloning. Tuesday, The National Right
to Life Committee endorsed Fred. NRLC is the nation's largest
pro-life organization representing over 3,000 local chapters in all
50 states. Help support the true conservative."
