if you understood Romney's motivation you might think better of him. As a liberal however you probably could not bring yourself to say anything good about Romney.

His motivation of the Massachusetts health care system was to decrease the number of uninsured citizens in the Commonwealth. In that he was successful. It was not his intent to provide universal healthcare for everyone in the state.

Shortly after the passage of the law a Democrat controlled legislature started demanding certain coverages such as there is a prisoner in the Massachusetts jails that requested and received a sex change operation. Under the Massachusetts system senior citizens are covered for pregnancy. There were many other things that the legislature included in the coverage that drove the prices up. Romney did try to veto them however they primarily Democrat legislature is because were overridden.

You may hold the so-called Romney care against Mr. Romney simply because you can't find anything else of substance to hold against him.
