As governor, Mitt Romney pioneered the main elements of the Obamacare in his state. The federal government funded the Romneycare experiment with the hopes of nationalizing the program if successful. Ninety-eight percent of the population in Massachusetts is now covered under Romneycare. Most people like how the health care system works in his state. This is a huge success: Massachusetts achieves far more universal coverage than any other state, and people are now healthier. The Affordable Care Act builds on that success. Key elements of Romneycare were copied and perfected in the Affordable Care Act. When Romney passed the law he faced all the same attacks the current law does: Employers will drop coverage, Costs will skyrocket! Most of these worries never occurred. Also, parts of the program that did not work were removed prior to nationalization. Romney ran his first presidential election on nationalizing his plan, which is pretty much identical to what the GOP now derides in Obamas health care law. In his second election, he ran against everything he fought for during the first election in a complete flip flop. Still, nobody explains the elements that now make up the Affordable Care Act better than Mitt Romney: 1.
