Look at just some of the similarities between Romneycare and Obamacare:
• Both require that citizens pay a fine (tax, whatever) if they don't obtain health insurance.
• Both expand subsidies for people who can't afford to buy insurance.
• Both prohibit insurers from denying coverage to people because of pre-existing medical conditions. Both set broad rules on what must be covered, and on premiums.
• Both require most companies to offer insurance to their employees or pay a penalty. Massachusetts exempts companies with fewer than 10 employees. The federal law sets the bar at 50 employees.
• Both require insurers to cover dependents up to a certain age.
As governor, Romney had no problem taking credit. "Quite a day! ... You have made a huge difference, for me and for hundreds of thousands of people who will have healthier and happier lives," he wrote to a Massachusetts official after signing the landmark law on April 12, 2006, The Wall Street Journal reported.
sounds like Romney helped Obama a lot in order to write his law on a national scale.
