Romney is said to be a bit of a mystery, but actually not.
Do you know the picture of the RomneyCare signing with him, Ted Kennedy and others, and Romney is laughing large?
That is him, and that’s what his comment above says: If he can get legislators to bring him legislation, so that he isn’t the only one with his head in a noose, then he will sign it.
That photo is exactly who Romney is.

An alternate theory or take:
Romney was especially keen on removing the insidious William Bulger from public life. I wouldn't be surprised if RomneyCare was a sop to the Democrat Machine leadership in return for giving Romney clear water for removing the Bulgers from public life.
Granted, it was one hell of a sop.
