"Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place," he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." ''One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage."
Romney also said he would allow young adults to keep their coverage under their parents' health-insurance.
Those provisions have been two of the more popular parts of Obama's Affordable Care Act.
"I say we're going to replace Obamacare. And I'm replacing it with my own plan," Romney said. "And even in Massachusetts when I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people."

>> This is depressing.
Is this really news to you?
in this case i think what the wife might need is healthcare, not insurance. why force a third party company, whose purpose is to take the gamble on risk to lose. that ain’t america
Limbaugh will not defend obamacare, I don’t know what Hannity believes because most of the time he rambles.
Limbaugh can hardly choke down enthusiasm for Romney, Hannity gushes over anyone willing to come on his show.
A few weeks ago somebody from the Romney campaign called and started off by saying that Romney would, as his first act, repeal Obamacare. I said no way would Romney do that. They guy tried to argue but had the losing side. I did not contribute.
RINO BETTER REMEMBER 70% OF THE PRIMARY VOTERS WANTED SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIM
EXACTLY~!!
Obamacare is NOT AN ISSUE he needs to talk about- he knows we all hate it- that issue is SETTLED- why would he start talking about it again?
STA"Y OFF THE LIBTARD MEDIA STATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The OBAMA GREAT RECESSION IS THE ISSUE TO ALK ABOUT
America suffers from the same foolishness that led us into WWII, devastated the world, and almost cost us Western Civilization.
Voices that speak up intelligently are put down. This means smart people can’t run the country smartly. We can pray the disaster won’t be the worst possible when it comes.
It would be nice if some great leader could explain this to people and avoid catastrophe. It’s certainly not happening right now.
I bet he does!
I actually like parts of it too:
the Medical Loss Ratio is a great provision
that doesn’t mean I’m a commie. It means that I’m sick of bloated health insurers spending less than 25% of premiums on actual ...healthcare. That is freakin ridiculous.
I think obamacare is wrong in it’s approach. More competition would fix this (across state lines) , but there is no freakin reason that some of these large AT&T-like payors are spending < 25% of premiums on healthcare. That is why we are seeing the huge increases.
Hey, what gives? On the RNC convention live thread, they were saying Romney would be our King David! This shocks me! /s
Guess what I like part of it too, the pre-existing part of it. So sue me.
>> Romney may be dumb enough to lose this election. Now, as he continues his lunge to the Left,
I don’t get you people. Did you really believe he’s changed from his MA days?
Romney for about a year now: REPEAL AND REPLACE!!!
The staggering bewilderment over Romney’s Liberal views is astonishing given the alleged acumen of the typical Conservative.
Romney’s a Lib, Obama’s a Marxist. Still undecided?
Wait till Obamacare comes up in the debates.
This is always the plan with the GOP. The only reason the populace supports or votes for their candidates is because the other side is so absurd.
In the end, the country steers left, because both parties want it that way. Just like herding sheep.
Oh, Obama’s team is storing this all up. If you think Romney blushed and stammered during the primary debates, wait till October.
While I agree this is wrong, do you realize the republicans are not willing to eliminate these benefits? They just aren’t. And polls show everyone wants them.
The defeat of Obama is essential for all kinds of vital reasons, defense, tax policy, Supreme Court, illegals, voter ID, US Attorneys.
But America has an entitlement sickness.
The only positive is, the republicans do support some free market mechanisms to reform health insurance. Like interstate competition.
I forgot it myself-—thanks for the reminder, LOL.
