Mitt Romney has pledged to repeal President Obama's universal health care law if he is elected president. Critics find his position rather strange, arguing that the plan he helped develop when he was governor of Massachusetts is quite similar in design to the Obama plan. Romney disputes his critics, saying there are important and fundamental differences between the plans. Who is correct?
In actuality, both plans draw extensively from legislation offered by President Nixon in January 1974.
It is funny to see the Republicans fight the individual mandate hard right now when they used to propose it, even Newt Gingrich thought Americans should be required to all have health insurance.
