Former Governor Mitt Romney signed a health care bill for Massachusetts that has been a success.

It is a mistake for him to distance himself from this issue.  Republicans always want to make every controversy for their cronies a States Rights issue.
Health care is NOT a States Rights issue.  United Healthcare is a nationwide company as are many others.  They have imperiled the health of citizens across the USA and the States have done NOTHING to stop them.
This is a matter of the American people having safe, consistent and affordable health care and the states have proven beyond any doubt they cannot provide it.
Romney's position now that he is attempting a run for President was 'directly' dictated by "Big Talker" radio host Neil Bortz when he stated two days before Romeny made his position known, that in order for Romney to be taken seriously about any Republican nomination he would have to distance himself from health care.
Romeny is ANOTHER puppet of the Right Wing Media.  When does that stop so we finally have a Republican Party that actually has policy and leadership NOT beholding to Murdoch? 

Two days.  And Romney was jumping to attention as a good scout / lieutenant would.  Lieutenant is actually a better word.  Mafia.  The Murdoch Mafia.

BOSTON - APRIL 12: Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney signs into law a new health care reform bill during a ceremony at Faneuil Hall April 12, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) (2nd R) and others joined Romney for the signing of the bill, which makes Massachusetts the first state in the country to require that all residents have health insurance.


...But then there’s the enthusiasm gap.  (click here)  Romney, somewhat to my surprise, seems to have lost much of his luster for the conservative establishment. Maybe it’s a bait-and-switch, but National Review, deeply in Romney’s pocket in 2007/8, has been playing up Jeb Bush and Pawlenty instead in 2011....
