Mitt Romney Praises Obamacare

File this under "The Wrong Republicans"
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Romney praised Stemberg for encouraging him to create Romneycare in Massachusetts.

"Without Tom pushing it, I don't think we would have had Romneycare," Romney said. "Without Romneycare, I don't think we would have Obamacare. So, without Tom a lot of people wouldn't have health insurance."
Romney subsequently tweeted that, actually, he doesn't like ObamaCare after all.

Yes, they have health insurance. But that doesn't mean they can get affordable health care.
