“Well, he’s increased taxes, he’s been for big government health care programs. I’ve been for private sector health care reform, I’ve never voted for a tax increase. I’ve reformed major welfare programs and entitlement programs and he’s created them, so it’s a big difference,” he told TheDC following a Faith and Freedom Coalition rally before Monday night’s GOP presidential debate.
Santorum was referring to the health care plan then-Gov. Romney implemented in 2006, which required every citizen of Massachusetts to purchase health insurance.
