"When I mentioned I am going to get rid of Obamacare they weren’t happy, I didn’t get the same response. That’s ok, I want people to know what I stand for and if I don’t stand for what they want, go vote for someone else, that’s just fine. But I hope people understand this, your friends who like Obamacare, you remind them of this, if they want more stuff from government tell them to go vote for the other guy — more free stuff. But don’t forget nothing is really free. it has to paid for by people in the private sector creating goods and services, and if people want jobs more than they want free stuff from government, then they are going to have to get government to be smaller. And if they don’t want to repeal Obamacare they are going to have to give me some other stuff they are thinking about cutting, but my list takes Obamacare off first and I have a lot of other things I am thinking of cutting."

We can’t rely on the private sector, Mr. Romney. Not if by private sector you mean companies like the one that made you filthy stinkin’ rich.  Those kinds of companies turn other people’s money into bigger money by cutting jobs and benefits for workers and walk away hoarding profits while impoverishing the nation. 

And ACA isn’t a handout.  It’s regulation to keep insurance corporations from continuing to screw people over, and offering health coverage to people who can’t afford it.  It’s not a handout.  It’s compensation for hard work.  It will create jobs. It will save a ton of money because bankruptcy will no longer be the only option for people who get sick.  I’m sure you understand all of this, Mr. Romney, because you basically came up with the idea is Massachusetts and it’s working out pretty well.  Your blatant misrepresentation of the facts shows that you are playing to party lines and have no backbone.  You, sir, are a phony.  A big fat phony.
