Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) put the President’s signature health care reform law at the top of his list when asked by CNN host Soledad O’Brien for specific spending cuts Republicans need to make a deal and avoid pushing the country over the fiscal cliff. Political consultant Bob Schrum responded by reminding Johnson of the political reality.
“This is fantasy land. It’s like saying Ronald Reagan invented the Apple iPad. Obamacare is not going to be on the table…. Not going to happen. You lost the election, buddy.”

The nation’s state and local public hospitals may face an increase of more than $50 billion in the costs of uncompensated care by 2019 if states decide against participating in an expansion of the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor… It’s unclear exactly how many states will forego the Medicaid expansion, but Republican Governors like Florida’s Rick Scott and Texas’ Rick Perry have publicly said they won’t participate in the Medicaid expansion partly because of eventual costs to their states for increasing coverage. The Perry and Scott moves have been endorsed by Mitt Romney, next Tuesday’s GOP standard-bearer in the election for the presidency, who has said he wants to see the health law repealed.

In 2008 Mitt Romney was asked whether he would use “Romneycare” as a model for national reform:
Voter: “You supported national healthcare in Massachusetts, are you going to the same thing on a national level?”
Mitt Romney: “Absolutely. I’ve already put a plan out take a look at it. Get on my website, take a look.”
Four years later Romney has a slightly different answer.
