Mitt Romney "I Like Firing People", Nashua, NH

Mitt Romney made the comment while touting a health care approach that would allow people to purchase their own insurance, in which he said would give the companies an incentive to keep their customers happy and healthy.  His statement has been take out of context completely.  While we do not support Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee, we would like to say that on this topic he is right on. 

Real health care reform is not best solved by allowing the government to take it over.  Real reform will start when we apply more competition in the market place.  If people could transition their coverage from one employer to another this would the consumer in greater control of their coverage and the decision.
 

Another very important change will be to allow health companies to compete accros state lines and allow people to keep their current coverage when the move to another state.  One reason health coverage is so expense is high turn over rate of their, "Health Care Companies" customers.  There is very little certainty of the type of person they are insuring and this increases their potental risk. 

Think about how crazy auto insurance would be if you had to change companies every time you moved or changed jobs.  You wouldn't know your agent and they wouldn't know you very well.  As it is know you see auto insurance companies competing big time for your business.  And while the risk of  liability has increased and the cost of vehicles have increased the cost of auto insurance premiums have increased at a much lower rate.  Imagine having as many health insurance company commercials as you see auto insurance commercials.  At that point you would feel very empowered to fire you current health insurance company.

His statement, "I Like Firing People" was made toward our ability as consumers to buy from the business that best service the consumers needs.  If you are unhappy with the product or services you receive from a company you can fire them and take your business else where.

Let's be far on this issue with Mitt Romney, while we disagree with him on many issues this was a very, "the consumer has the power" statement.
