Romney on Romneycare: ‘I Am Not Going to Walk Away From That’
NRO
Don’t expect Mitt Romney to backtrack on his Massachusetts health-care plan at any point this election cycle.
“I am sure there are many people who have calculated, and perhaps correctly, that thehealthcare plan I put in place in Massachusetts is not good for me politically, and if I want to encourage my political future, I should say it was a mistake and walk away from it,” Romney told Fox News host Neil Cavuto in an interview set to air later tonight.
“You have seen a lot of candidates look at their biggest vulnerability, call it a mistake, and ask for forgiveness,” Romney continued. “In my case that wouldn’t be honest.”
He affirmed that he believes the health-care program was the “right thing” for Massachusetts then, although he conceded that it hasn’t “worked perfectly.”
“If it hurts me politically, it’s a consequence of the truth,” Romney added. “I am not going to walk away from that. It’s right for states to come up with their own solutions. I doubt other people are going try and follow the one we put together. Maybe learn from our experience. Maybe come up with something better. But the wrong course is to have the federal government impose its will on the entire nation.”

Wild Thing’s comment……
I sure hope and pray Ann Coulter and the rest of her rino ilk do not get their wish with their wanting Romney to be President.
If Romney wins the White House I will not hold my breath waiting for him to work to repeal obamacare. I really think Romney would actually give some sorry assed excuse and endorse the program.
I so agree with that assessment…!!! Romney is another dishonest RINO who in reality supports lib causes. Dems/socialists are about growing government quickly, Republicans are about growing it slow. We need to STOP growing it!

Tom, I agree with you, I think that will happen too if he wins.
