Washington, 23 mar ( EFE).- applicants for candidacy presidential Republican in the U.S. focused today on attack reform health Government of Barack Obama on the Eve of the primaries in Louisiana, where Rick Santorum is bound to win to stop the streak of Mitt Romney.
On the second anniversary of the enactment of the reform, the greatest achievement of the mandate of Obama and the most maligned by Republicans, the candidates returned to promise, as they have done throughout the electoral campaign, which cease the Act if they reach the White House.
“the President is not giving speeches” on reform in this anniversary “and that is for a reason: the majority of Americans want to get rid of it and we are among them”, said Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts, during a campaign in the area of New Orleans, Louisiana.
El exsenador Santorum also criticized the law of Obama in a statement issued by his campaign team and took passage to go against Romney, who stated that “he deceived voters” with a Massachusetts health reform, when he was Governor, very similar to that now rejects.
Another of applicants, the former President of the House of representatives Newt Gingrich, said in a statement that if the reform of Obama remains “no end to the power of the Government”, that in his view now has control “over very personal decisions about life and death”.
Obama not made any special activity today to commemorate the second anniversary of the enactment of the reform, on the eve that the Supreme Court consider appeals by unconstitutionality against States ruled by Republicans.
From Monday the nine judges of the Supreme will hear arguments about the most controversial element of the law: the requirement that all people in the us have health insurance or pay a fine for not having.
The other protagonist of the day along with health care reform was Santorum, who at the beginning of week suggested that it would prefer a second term to a Presidency of Romney Obama and today had to leave to defend itself against criticisms.
“I never vote for Barack Obama rather than by any Republican and suggest otherwise is absurd,” said in a statement exsenador.
However, rivals are taking advantage of their error and Rich Beeson, political director for the campaign of Romney, said today that Santorum “has become the most valuable player of the team of Barack Obama”.
“Suggest that a Presidency of Romney not be dramatically better for any conservative than a Obama is simply wrong”, argued for its part Gingrich, who has spent much of the week in Louisiana trying to revive his candidacy.
Polls, however, favor Santorum in that southern and conservative state will distribute this Saturday 46 delegates.
Information page political RealClearPolitics, which produced an average of all polls, gives an advantage of 10 points on Romney and 18 on Gingrich in Louisiana to Santorum.
