Flip-flopping like a fish in a boat
After taking credit in Massachusetts for the hard work of many people in creating health care for all, Mitt the Twit has been running hard away from it as he campaigns for repeal of President Obama's similar Affordable Health Care Act. Running away until he gets to Israel.
Mitt Romney had kind words for Israel’s health care system Monday, even though, as ThinkProgress reports, it resembles the recently passed Affordable Health Care Act, which his party has been trying to repeal.As Republican/Teabaggers clamor for freedom from health, Mitt the Twit praises a more comprehensive system than anything in the US. Flop flop flip flop.
The presumptive Republican presidential candidate said he admired Israel for spending less of its gross domestic product on health than the U.S.
“You spend eight percent of G.D.P. on health care,” he said. “You’re a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18 percent of our G.D.P. on health care, 10 percentage points more.”
The country’s health-care system includes an individual mandate clause, requiring citizens to buy one of four HMOs offered by the government since 1995, with the state covering 60 percent of a person’s medical costs. The remaining 40 percent is covered by income-related tax collections.
Mitt the Twit is Unfit To Be POTUS.

Right-Wingers would contend that running and administering a Socialized Health Care system is easy in Israel because there's only 6.5 million of them and the Israelis exclude illegals in the State of Irsrael (i.e. Palestinians)
