Politifact: Romney Lying about Nationalized Romneycare, again (sigh)


Willard hates what he gave birth to, because, well ….because shut up:
In his response to the Supreme Court ruling to uphold the law, Mitt Romney stayed on message. "Perhaps most troubling of all, Obamacare puts the federal government between you and your doctor," Romney said
If Nationalized Romneycare does this it is an outrageous outrage, but it does not:
The overarching fact about the law is that it relies on the private sector. Employers still buy private health insurance for their workers. The law doesn’t change how much doctors are paid or what services they can provide, though it does create incentives and penalties to promote better care. (One example: It penalizes hospitals if patients are re-admitted soon after being discharged.)

It establishes a minimum benefits package for insurance plans and fosters competition among health insurance companies by creating shopping websites. These sites, called exchanges, will allow customers to pick insurance plans the same way they might buy other things online, such as refrigerators or airplane tickets.The law also gives subsidies to people of limited means so they can buy their own insurance.

If the health care law did get between doctors and patients, you would think most doctors would complain loudly. While some do, the leading physician advocacy group, the American Medical Association, does not. On the contrary, the AMA supports the law.
I know all politicians tell partial truth or exaggerate from time to time, but I am beginning to think Willard Romney is a pathological liar.  He will simply lie about anything and anyone. 

From the 2008 primary where it was apparent the other GOP candidates simply loathed the man to today, Willard has been fairly consistently inconsistent about just about everything. Here is an example: Romney is on the record as being both for and against killing Bin Laden. Only a true weasel can pull off something like
