When you comin’ back, Mitt Romney?

By SoundOffSister / May 14, 2011 /

On Thursday, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R.?) gave a speech extolling the virtues of Romneycare (the Massachusetts precursor of Obamacare), while at the same time criticizing Obamacare.

Today’s Boston Herald reviewed the results of findings made by Suffolk University’s Beacon Hill Institute concerning the effects of Romneycare on the state of Massachusetts.  It should come as no surprise that Romneycare is an abysmal failure.
