(2,941 posts)That was Romney, one of the last of the "liberal" Republicans. Not Romney, the fascist trend-follower who vowed to destroy Obamacare when he ran against Obama in 2012. Poor Mittens might have won had he not distanced himself so stupidly from the brightest part of his governorship.

Massachusetts health care reform
2006 health-care reform bill in Massachusetts commonly known as Romneycare

The Massachusetts health care reform, commonly referred to as Romneycare, was a healthcare reform law passed in 2006 and signed into law by Governor Mitt Romney with the aim of providing health insurance to nearly all of the residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The law mandated that nearly every resident of Massachusetts obtain a minimum level of insurance coverage, provided free and subsidized health care insurance for residents earning less than 150% and 300%, respectively, of the federal poverty level and mandated employers with more than 10 full-time employees provide healthcare insurance.

I rank Romney's foolish war on Obamacare in his 2012 campaign with Gore's mindless distancing of Bill Clinton -- the most popular President since JFK both despite and because of his womanizing -- from his campaign in 2000.
