Who Understood RomneyCare Better: Mitt Romney or Ted Kennedy? | Cato @ Liberty

The video below shows former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R) relaying a quip that former U.S. senator from Massachusetts Ted Kennedy (D) made at the 2006 signing ceremony for RomneyCare, a law that both men labored to make a reality. Cato adjunct scholar David Hyman quotes Kennedy’s quip in this paper on RomneyCare:

When you come to a celebration of a signing and Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy and the Heritage Foundation are all together, it’s clear one of us didn’t read the bill.

Romney paraphrases Kennedy’s quip at 1:12 into the video, to the amusement of the conservatives attending the National Review Institute’s Conservative Summit:

Job-Killing Uncertainty in the Overregulated Obama Economy

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today released Job-Killing Uncertainty in the Obama Economy, a new video in which CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder – an AmericanJobCreators.com participant – underscores a major reason why job creators aren’t hiring in the Obama Economy: uncertainty caused by new government regulations. To comply with just one of the hundreds of new regulations in the President’s health insurance law, CKE will be forced to spend approximately $1.5 million to replace all restaurant menus, according to Mr. Puzder. That’s 17% of what it invested in new restaurants in 2010, and it’s all capital the Obama Administration will divert from job creation.
