Romney was the valedictorian of his college, and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Business School. As the former Gov. of Mass. he brought the budget from a deficit to a surplus, and the school children in his state were ranked #1 in both reading and math. he knows how to get results. He’s been involved in international business for 25 years, and provided the funding and management to start Staples that created 15,000 jobs. His firm was the first capital firm to go into a failing company and provide management consulting to save jobs and improve revenue. Other capital companies have since adopted that model instead of the acquisition and sell model. His public health care model is predictably not going well, because there is ALWAYS more demand than supply. Other countries get around this by rationing health care. The architect of the Canadian systems said the Canadian health care system “is in ruins,” and even pumping billions of dollars into it won’t save it, so they are going toward a private choice model like the US. http://www.ibdeditorial.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=299282509335931 “Four decades later, as the chairman of a government committee reviewing Quebec health care this year, Castonguay concluded that the system is in “crisis.” “We thought we could resolve the system’s problems by rationing services or injecting massive amounts of new money into it,” says Castonguay. But now he prescribes a radical overhaul: “We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice.” “Castonguay advocates contracting out services to the private sector, going so far as suggesting that public hospitals rent space during off-hours to entrepreneurial doctors. He supports co-pays for patients who want to see physicians. Castonguay, the man who championed public health insurance in Canada, now urges for the legalization of private health insurance.”
