Mitt Romney has called for wholesale repeal of President Obama’s national health care law, but in a TV interview that aired Sunday he said he is “not getting rid of all of health care reform.”
“Of course, there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place,” Romney told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “One is to make sure that those with preexisting conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their family up to whatever age they might like.”

In the same interview, he took credit for saving General Motors. Just bizarre.
This isn't at all what he says on his website

Multiple choice Romney strikes again. He cuts such an untrustworthy figure. Today he had to use his wife to defend his awful public and policy behavior. He just does not relate well to people with problems outside his narrow circle.
He's such a hypocrite, liar, it's really quite appalling
when he talks, whenever he talks, he has this audible tick: flip-flop ... flip-flop
Hey Etch-A-Sketch: it doesn't work that way. You can't cherry pick ObamaCare; the insurance companies need universal coverage to pay for coverage of people with pre-existing conditions.
I guess people, especially conservatives (who are curiously silent about this news...), in the rest of the country right about now are realizing what people in Massachusetts learned several years ago: Romney is a spineless self-promoter who will do and say anything if he thinks it will advance Mitt.
The fact that he also flip-flopped on tax cuts for the wealthy today probably means he's seen the post-DNC internal polls and they're not good. If he can't win as a conservative, now he'll try running as Obama?
4 hours after the interview, Romney's staff "clarified" that what he REALLY meant was that the private market was competitive so that people with pre-existing conditions would find insurers willing to sell them coverage. (And if you believe that, Romney has a bridge he wants to sell you.!!!!!) ****** Will the Globe publish breaking news tomorrow on Romney's latest "unexpected" change of position? But then again, by tomorrow the Etch-a-Sketch will be shaken again and who knows what picture it will show.
Too late Mitt, your toast.
Ahhhemmmm, correction, "you're toast".
