Mitt Romney vs. the Truth

September 2009

A study by the Massachusetts Medical Society found that
24 percent of residents reported having difficulty getting the care
they needed in 2008, up from 16 percent the previous year. Among the
main reasons for the logjam: long waits for an appointment. The same
study found that the percentage of family doctors who were no longer
accepting new patients grew to 35 percent in 2008 from 25 percent in
2006.

Romney Has Now "Begun To Distance Himself" From His "Signature" Plan.
"With signs emerging that his signature healthcare plan faces hurdles,
former governor Mitt Romney has begun to distance himself from the new
law and is suggesting that Democrats will be to blame if the plan
falters. ... At recent political appearances, Romney has subtly lowered
expectations for the law he championed as governor."

(Rick Klein, "Boston Globe: Romney Distances Self From Mass. Health
Plan," The Boston Globe, 2/3/07)

"[Romney] oversold the results [of Romneycare] -- to the applause of
the national health-care lobby -- and imposed an insurance mandate
without reforming the state insurance market. As it unfolds, this law
is turning out to be far from a free-market success. And so now Mr.
Romney is distancing himself from it -- never mind that he upbraided
his critics last year for not understanding its virtues."

(Editorial, "The GOP Field," Wall Street Journal, 2/10/07)

"[Romney's] Now A Critic Of His Own Biggest Achievement." "As
governor of Massachusetts he signed a bipartisan law intended to
ensure that every resident has coverage. Romney touted it as an
innovative free-market solution. Yet these days, Romney ... is much more
likely to present his state's universal coverage law as not a model to
copy but an example for other states to learn from. He's now a critic
of his own biggest achievement." (Sean Higgins, "Ex-Gov.

Romney Keeps Distance From His Own Mass. Health Plan,"
Investor's Business Daily, 3/7/07)
