If Romney's the nominee, does that mean Romneycare is part of the GOP platform?

And I am amazed on how Romneycare never turned out to be the Achilles heel we all thought it would be.

No he actually vetoed alot of that bill which was over riden by a Democratic Congress. He's said before that he what's right for Massachusetts isn't right for the rest of the country and that the federal government shouldn't be dictating to states about healthcare. Repealing Obamacare will be on the platform instead.

Romney has also, of course, explicitly said that what was right for Massachusetts (individual health care mandate) WAS right for the rest of the country, and that Obama should implement it.

False.

Mitt also said Massachusetts healthcare plan was the model the President should use for the country.

Good luck spinning that in November.......

Romney has been as clear as anything on repealing Obamacare. You've conveniently forgotten to mention that.

He's been clear on that in 2012. In 2009 he was clearly in favor of Obama implementing Romneycare nationwide. And he's been completely unclear about the reasons for his change of heart.

Well I'll take Romney care over Obamacare.

Exactly what about Romneycare, enacted at the federal level, would you prefer to Obamacare?
