Romney Urged Obama to Adopt the Individual Healthcare Mandate - By Andrew C. McCarthy - The Corner - National Review Online
This pretty much kills the argument that his version was a states' rights issue.
How is this guy going to debate Obama?
in a 2009 op-ed for USAToday, Mitt Romney encouraged President Obama that hed be well-served by adopting elements of the Massachusetts Romneycare plan, particularly the individual mandate.
In the context of urging on the president the lessons we learned in Massachusetts that could help Washington find a better way to reform healthcare, Gov. Romney explained, [W]e established incentives for those who were uninsured to buy insurance. Using tax penalties, as we did, or tax credits, as others have proposed, encourages free riders to take responsibility for themselves, rather than pass their medical costs on others.
