….and this would be the plan that Romney implemented when he was running Massachusetts which he now says is not good enough to be a nationwide health care plan. Romney’s state plan had many of the same characteristics that President Obama’s healthcare plan has. Romney’s plan did include those mandatory insurance for everyone rules, as well as fines for those who did not comply. Those are now the issues which he has with Obama’s plan.
During his 2008 campaign, Romney said he would have structured the plan differently but said the Massachusetts plan worked because everyone had health coverage.

During his 2008 campaign, Romney said he would have structured the plan differently but said the Massachusetts plan worked because everyone had health coverage.
So what is possible GOP Presidential candidate Huckabee’s take on Romneycare?
"'We gave it our best shot and I'm proud we tried it because — in a world where we all agreed something needed to be done — we thought this might be a way to fix the crisis we had in health care. Our experiment did not turn out as we had hoped. It cost more, waiting times were higher, quality of care went down, people were greatly dissatisfied and it ended up having almost the polar opposite effect of what was intended.'"
