Rick Santorum touted his opposition to the Affordable Care Act early this morning during an event in Manchester, New Hampshire and drew a clear distinction between his long-standing opposition to universal health care and the past positions of Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. "I've never been for government-run health care, never. Unlike the other two folks who are running here, who have supported individual mandates, who have supported top-down government health care, I never have," he said.
The former Pennsylvania senator also implied that widespread access to health care is "what's destroying most countries in the world" and mocked President Obama for passing reform that offered insurance to "everybody":
SANTORUM: No, we have to have something for everybody! We can't have people having access to better health insurance than other people. No! It all has to be the same! Is that American? Equality of result? Is that what built the greatest country in the history of the world? No. That's what's destroying most of the countries in the world.
