In stunning shift: Romney advocates socialized health care!!

“No, you go to the hospital, you get treated, you get care, and it’s paid for, either by charity, the government or by the hospital. We don’t have people that become ill, who die in their apartment because they don’t have insurance.”

He pointed out that federal law requires hospitals to treat those without health insurance — although hospital officials frequently say that drives up health-care costs.

Not only does he encourage people to use a federal law mandating a private company to do something they don't want to do, he openly admits that the government is paying for it.

Not only that but ER costs are grossly inflated because the hospital knows they're going to have to jump through hoops to try to get that money, so not only is the govt paying but they are OVERPAYING 3x or more whatever the service truly costs because the hospital knows the govt will pay it.
