Romney was specifically talking about the ability to get rid of your health insurance provider when you aren’t satisfied with its services.
"I want individuals to have their own insurance," Romney said. "That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy. It also means if you don’t like what they do, you can fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. You know, if someone doesn’t give me a good service that I need, I want to say I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me."
So Romney wasn't referring to his work at Bain Capital -- or to the more general question of serving as a boss who has decided to fire employees of his company -- but rather the notion of switching service providers. He might as well have been talking about switching cellphone carriers or cable TV companies.

The man doesn't have a compassionate, or caring, bone in his body. Case in point.....the now infamous dog story. Sorry, but I really don't want a president who can't understand that the difficult decisions he makes have real human consequences. I especially don't want some cold-hearted robot sending our young men and women off to war without understanding the sacrifice they and their families are making. I have yet to see Romney show any concern for anything or anyone other than himself.
