Governor Romney is backed into a corner.
He is running for the White House. He knows Obamacare will be a major issue in the campaign. Has to be. A majority of the voters still disapprove of it. And guess what Obamacare was fashioned after? Romneycare. In Massachusetts, where and when he was governor.
You may be concerned about Mr. Romney’s fate in the upcoming campaign. Or maybe you don’t care what happens to him. Whichever way you feel, you may be a lot more concerned about the fate of Obamacare. Paul Hsieh, writing for Pajamas Media thinks you will be. After you read what has happened to Massachusetts under Romneycare you will be.
He writes that the Massachusetts Medical Society is unhappy with the governor’s plan, now law. Because the average wait time there to see an internal medicine doc is now 48 days. That is double the national average.
He tells us that over half of primary care docs no longer accept new patients. They spurn patients covered by Romneycare insurance. Because it pays too little.
The politicians behind Romneycare boast that more people are covered by their insurance. Covered by it. But they cannot find docs who will treat them.
