Big Government waste, Mittney style

Now, y'all remember that Mittney wants to repeal Obamacare on his first day in the Oval office.  Set aside the unconstitutional absurdity (or the Bachmannesque absurdity) of a fantasy overreach of the executive branch in unilaterally repealing an act of Congress, and focus on what this means.

A Mittney spokesorifice emitted this:
"Fixing our health care system means making sure that every American, regardless of their health care needs, can find quality, affordable coverage. That is why Governor Romney supports reforms to protect those with pre-existing conditions from being denied access to a health plan while they have continuous coverage. And for those purchasing insurance for the first time, he supports reforms that empower states to make high risk pools more accessible by using cost reducing methods like risk adjustment and reinsurance. Beginning on his first day in office, Governor Romney is committed to working with Congress to enact polices like these that protect Americans’ access to the care they need."
So Mittney is going to dismantle Obamacare which provides protections for those with pre-existing conditions from being dropped by insurance companies, and he is then going to work with Congress to  protect "those with pre-existing conditions from being denied access to a health plan while they have continuous coverage"

We'll get to what this means in a second, but how is Mittney going to do this?

He will "empower states to make high risk pools more accessible by using cost reducing methods like risk adjustment and reinsurance".

Right, with bullshit.

So what does this mean?  It means that Mittney thinks nothing of dismantling legislation that already does what he purportedly wants, and replacing it with identical legislation.

Talk about governmental waste. If government should not be wasting time interfering with things like healthcare, it should not be spending time or money undoing it and then redoing exactly the same thing!

Oh yeah, that, and bullshit.  Don't forget that bullshit he plans to use to make this happen."...risk adjustment and reinsurance." Then again, should we expect anything different from a guy who wants to replace healthcare with tax cuts for the wealthy?

Seriously, Obama is a major disappointment, does not deserve a second term, but Mittney might make Bush look like a benevolent genius.
