Mitt Romney gave his big speech on health care reform today, saying pretty much what everyone expected him to say: Repeal Obamacare and let the states figure it out. Conservative critics maintain that his own version of Romneycare dooms his candidacy—see today's Wall Street Journal editorial—but Romney strongly defended it as necessary to meet the particular needs of Massachusetts, reports Politico. His plan's individual mandate, much derided by conservatives, keeps people from getting free care in ER rooms, he said.
“I recognize that a lot pundits around the nation are saying that I should just stand up and say this whole thing was a mistake, that this was a boneheaded idea, and I should just admit it: It was a mistake, and walk away," said Romney. "I presume that a lot of folks think that if I did that it would be good for me politically. There’s only one problem with that: it wouldn’t be honest." (More Mitt Romney 2012 stories.)
