Romney can only last 8 years if he ditches his stated attachment to keeping the “useful parts” of Obamacare and otherwise governs as the total opposite of the the recent governor of Massachusetts by the same name.
As a symbolic statement, flushing the entirety of Obamacare would be refreshing (assuming the USSC hasn’t already done it for us). Any tiny nugget of good that happened to be embedded in the PPACA turd would best be enacted afresh.
However, I’m hearing that what Mitt wants to keep is a provision for interstate shopping of health insurance plans. If that’s the case I say don’t sweat the small stuff.
But again if the USSC barfs PPACA, it won’t matter.
