Romney Won't Apologize for Romneycare
The Huffington Post reports:
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is calling on President Barack Obama to "press the pause button" on the federal health care overhaul in the wake of a judge's decision declaring it unconstitutional.
Romney told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday that "we don't need the government imposing a one-size-fits-all system" on the states.
Romney acknowledged that his own health care law in Massachusetts contained the same kind of individual insurance mandate that a judge in Florida found unconstitutional in the federal law, but says he isn't apologizing for it.
"I'm not apologizing for it," he said. "I'm indicating that we went in one direction and there are other possible directions. I'd like to see states pursue their own ideas, see which ideas work best."
Republican strategist and Fox News contributor Karl Rove recently called on Romney to admit he was wrong for helping to advance the health care plan.
