Once again, Mitt Romney defended his health care plan in Massachusetts during an interview yesterday with Neil Cavuto on Fox Business.

Romney agreed that his health care plan might hurt him politically, but added that he wouldn’t walk away from it or call it a mistake.

“You’ve seen a lot of candidates look at their biggest vulnerability, just call it a mistake, and ask for forgiveness. In my case that would not be honest,” Romney said. “I believe we did the right thing for our state at the time, it’s not working perfectly, there’s things I’d change in it, if it hurts me politically, that’s just a consequence of the truth.”
