In a speech today in Michigan, Mitt Romney made it clear he won’t be running away from the health care system he implemented in Massachusetts. While pundits have encouraged him to admit that it was a mistake, Romney said, “There’s only one problem with that–it wouldn’t be honest.”

While many conservatives loathe “Romneycare”–or “Mass-Care” as he dubbed it today–and liken it to Obamacare, Romney argued that comparisons between his plan and Obama’s are baseless. Foremost, Romney said, the plans had different goals. While Obamacare was an attempt to achieve a “government takeover of health care,” the goal for “Mass-Care” was to “help people get and keep their health insurance.” And while Romney’s health care law raised no new taxes and cut nothing from seniors’ benefits, he said, Obamacare does both.
