Romney touts his health-care law, bashes Obama’s law

TOLEDO — Over the course of a half hour on Wednesday evening, Mitt
Romney put on a vivid display of his political flexibility on the
lightning-rod issue of health care.

As his surrogates were
warming up a crowd of 3,600 at the SeaGate Convention Centre in downtown
Toledo, Romney sat backstage for an interview with NBC News, during
which he fully embraced the health care overhaul he signed into law as
governor of Massachusetts.

“Don’t forget,” Romney said, “I got
everybody in my state insured. One hundred percent of the kids in our
state had health insurance. I don’t think there’s anything that shows
more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of
record.”



Then, just minutes later, Romney stepped out to rally his supporters
here with a sharp critique of Obama’s national health-care overhaul,
calling the federal law “Exhibit No. 1” of Obama’s liberal view of
government, even though it is very similar to Romney’s own Massachusetts
law.

“I will repeal Obamacare and replace it with real health
care reform,” Romney said at the rally. “You see, Obamacare is really
Exhibit No. 1 of the president’s political philosophy, and that is that
government knows better than people how to run your lives. It is a view
that government should stand between you and your doctor. I don’t
believe in a bigger and bigger government…I believe in freedom.”
Romney’s comments to NBC represented his strongest embrace of the
Massachusetts law in some time, while his attack on Obama’s law at the
rally was one of his toughest.
Romney has long maintained that there is no contradiction between
embracing his Massachusetts law and vowing to repeal Obama’s federal
law. He considers the Massachusetts law a state-specific solution and
has said he would not support a law that amounts to a federal takeover.
But the Obama campaign quickly seized on Romney’s comments to NBC, saying that his national health care plan is not empathetic.


“Mitt Romney is working overtime to rehabilitate his image after
being caught writing off half of all Americans to a room of high-dollar
donors,” Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said in a
statement. “But his warm and fuzzy rhetoric doesn’t match up with his
policies, principles, or priorities.”
