Washington, 28 jun (EFE).-likely in the U.S., Mitt Romney, Republican presidential candidate raised $ 2.5 million from 24,000 donors during this Thursday in response to the ruling of the Supreme Court favourable to health reform from President Barack Obama, according to his campaign.
the Romney campaign linked these revenues with the discontent of many citizens with the ruling of the Supreme Court, said constitutional reform of Obama and endorsed its most controversial provision, which establishes mandatory health insurance for all Americans.
However, the amount achieved today is within the average of the last month, period in which Romney has been raising more than 2 billion dollars per day.
upon hearing the decision of the Supreme Court, Romney reiterated his campaign to “repeal and replace” promise health care reform signed into law by Obama in 2010.
the judges assert that you reform health “does not violate the Constitution, but that is not a good law or a good policy,” said the former Governor of Massachusetts, who will try to wrest the White House to Obama in elections in November.
Obama initiative “was bad policy yesterday and is bad policy today (…) it is important that we revoquemos it and replace with a genuine reform,” underlined Romney from a building close to the Capitol in Washington.
according to Romney, baptised by his detractors as “ObamaCare”, reform increases taxes, reducing benefits for the program “Medicare” for the elderly and pensioners, and adds billions of dollars to the deficit and the debt national.
when he was Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007, Romney enacted – unique in the nation by then – health reform that granted universal access to health care through government subsidies and imposed compulsory health insurance.
