Governor Romney Will Apply Free-Market Principles To Health Care:

Governor Romney Unveiled A Bold Plan To Improve The Health Care System By Putting Conservative, Market-Based Principles To Work. "Governor Romney's health care reform plan is a comprehensive solution to America's health care ills that expands access to affordable, portable, quality, private health insurance. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all, government-run system, Governor Romney's plan recognizes the importance of the role of the states in leading reform and the need for innovation in dealing with rising health care costs and the problem of the uninsured." (Romney For President, "Expanding Access To Affordable Health Care," Press Release, 8/24/07)
