No fan of Romney, but RomneyCare was a state initiative. If Taxachusettes wants to do it, fine with me. ObamaCare is a nation-wide initiative. Different thing. The Founding Fathers allowed for states to do these kinds of stupid things. Other states could and would choose to opt out.

RomneyCare, ObamaCare, apples and oranges.

If Obama used RomneyCare as his model, that's bad in and of itself, but they're two different things.

Romneycare was financed a huge chunk by the Feds so it was not just a state initiative. You and I both helped pay for it.
