"Repeal" isn't exactly the right word, though, since his approach would center on an executive order giving all 50 states full control over health care in their own states. Romney wrote at the NRO Corner Tuesday evening:
If I were president, on Day One I would issue an executive order paving the way for Obamacare waivers to all 50 states. The executive order would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services and all relevant federal officials to return the maximum possible authority to the states to innovate and design health-care solutions that work best for them.
Romney goes on to note that "what works in one state may not be the answer for another" - a transparent attempt to pre-empt criticism of the state health care reform package he shepherded into law while governor of Massachusetts. Judging by the comments, most NRO readers are not buying it.
But what of NB readers? Does this line ease your fears about "Romney-care" and Mitt's commitment to repealing its federal cousin?
