No, he pledged to remove obamacare and REPLACE IT... with his own version. Do you think it will not look like romneycare? A change of text here... replace a word there... shuffle the deck and deal. No, we are going to get a socialist medical system and it will have romney's seal on its crest.

So, how would that work?

First, Congress has to pass a repeal. This should be a pretty straightforward process, since the House is already on board, and they will only need 51 votes in the Senate. When Congress passes the repeal, Romney will sign it. He may be a squish, but he has made repealing Obamacare a centerpiece of his campaign. One can only flip-flop so much.

Then Congress will have to pass substitute legislation. Given the solid Republican majority in the House and (hopefully) the Senate, there is no way that legislation is going to look like Obamacare. My fondest hope is that they don't manage to pass anything at all.

In any case, Romney is a better choice going forward. The re-election of President Obama would set Obamacare in stone. This is unacceptable. That anybody could be whining about the choice in having to vote against Obama at this point boggles my mind. Voting against Obama should be automatic.
