Romney Embraces Grandfather Of Obamacare Title: Ill Take It
By Igor Volsky
Mitt Romney pledged to repeal Obamacare in its entirety on Wednesday evening, but joked that he would be happy to be known as the grandfather of the federal law. Now and then the president says Im the grandfather of Obamacare. I dont think he meant that as a compliment, but Ill take it, Romney said at a Univision forum, adding, this was during my primary we thought it might not be helpful. Watch it:
<...>
Romney went on to praise the success of reform in Massachusetts, noting that almost every child now has access to health insurance. The former governor recently raised the ire of conservatives for saying, during an appearance on Meet The Press, that he would maintain some parts of the federal law. He steered clear of that tonight.

Mitt, I hate to remind you, but you really sucked as Governor. It's a wonder no one exposed you before the recent videos.
On April 12, 2006, Governor Mitt Romney signed the health legislation.[20]
Romney vetoed eight sections of the health care legislation, including the controversial employer assessment.[21]
Romney also vetoed provisions providing dental benefits to poor residents on the Medicaid program, and providing health coverage to senior and disabled legal immigrants not eligible for federal Medicaid.[22] The legislature promptly overrode six of the eight gubernatorial section vetoes, on May 4, 2006,
and by mid-June 2006 had overridden the remaining two.[23]
