(CNSNews.com) - If Mitt Romney becomes president, he says he won't get rid of Obamacare in its entirety.
In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, Romney indicated he would keep the provisions dealing with pre-existing conditions and young adults:
"Well, I'm not getting rid of all of healthcare reform," Romney told NBC's David Gregory. "Of course, there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place. One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their-- their family up to whatever age they might like.
"I also want individuals to be able to buy insurance, health insurance, on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax-advantage basis through their company," Romney said.
Romney told Gregory he's going to "replace Obamacare" with his own plan:
"And, you know, even in Massachusetts where I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people."
What we must take are the House, Senate, AND the executive branch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super majorities won’t do anything. The majority of the super majority will follow their leader: Mittens Thurston Howell III
So he’s not even elected President and he’s already backing out of campaign promises.
Mittens will never connect with Middle America
bump
Romney will lose Massachusetts because of RomneyCARE.
Americans HATE ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.
But like Obama, Romney does not care.
Don’t go there, PLEASE!!!!
Hey, I got a great idea! Likes run for president alright? And we will take an issue that a huge majority of Americans do not agree with, an issue that our opponent supports..
And we will support most of it!
Ya, that’s the ticket!
(Romney, you idiot. STOP SUPPORTING OBAMA’S SIGNATURE PLAN!!)
darn predictive text. LETS run, not Likes run.
It’s as if he’s Trying to throw the election.
A S**t sandwich becomes Caviar when it’s served on a napkin with an Elephant on it instead of one with a Jacka**?
Franklky, I do not understand republican candidates!!!
Now, Romney is telling us he likes certain parts of Obamacare......
Only one candidate ever lost both his birth state and the state of his residence and still won the election: James Polk in 1844. In order to win, Romney will have to be the second; he both was born and lives in Massachusetts.
That tune had better change fast or he will lose the election, period.
The GOP has gotten even WORSE than the Whigs were when their party imploded, but we don’t seem to be offered any chance to throw them out.
Romney’s operators were as much responsible for vilifying Sarah Palin back in 2008 as the left wing press and the DNC. Now we see WHY he wanted McCain and Palin to lose.
Both parties, Democrat and Republican, have been taken over by the forces of corruption. It doesn’t give us a lot to hope for this November.
I wish we could have agreed on a write-in candidate, but those currently on offer are all pretty feeble.
None of this is a surprise. We knew very well, from his record, that Mitt would be no better than Obama Lite.
Third party? I think Nader is running again...could siphon enough votes away from Obama for the good candidate on the right to win.
At least Obama waited until after inauguration to break his promises — Romney’s didn’t even last that long.
Mittens should have just said that he will repeal Obamacare and then let Congress address any changes through well thought out legislation.
Romney is only in this for the money and his deityship.
There is no conservative principles from him.
HE defends Obama. HE defends Obama’s plans
and that includes ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.
The GOP is delusional.
