Does anyone else find it ironic that Republicans are bashing Romney for talking about firing bad insurance companies?

He basically was talking about individuals being able to get rid of health care insurance companies that give bad service, instead of being locked in to the one supplied by your employer. This is exactly what I always say, I feel it would increase competition if individuals were making more of a direct decision about what company they choose.

So, I am listening and my self identified Democrat self is liking what the guy is saying. He says something along the lines of he wants to be able to fire them, he likes being able to fire people if they aren’t doing a good job. In my opinion this is very Republican, they tend to not be in favor of unions or the government having a lot of labor laws, etc.

Here is the clip of him saying it.

All day talking heads on the news went on about how horrible what he said was, his message about healthcare never talked about, just that he is a wealthy capitalist who likes firing people. Huh? The Republicans are calling him a capitalist like it is a dirty word. Seriously? Don’t get me wrong, he should not have said it, because obviously itisn’t going to play well, he knew it as he said it, you can see the look of regret on his face the moment the words came out of his mouth.

What are your thoughts?
