No matter how much people try to paint Romney as the inspirer or designer of Obamacare, the truth in what he actually did showed that he specified no new taxes and using only free markets.
Many people misunderstand this and it has become an impediment to voting for him. However, when you understand what he actually did, you will find that there is no impediment - and that his additional insight and experience will serve the nation in better replacing the ObamaCare mistakes.
His state bill also was uniquely designed to cure certain huge key "challenges" (problems) of Massachusetts. It was only meant to address and solve the huge key "challenges" unique to Massachusetts.
