Speaking with Sean Hannity for an interview to air Thursday night, the former Massachusetts governor repeats his pledge to repeal the national health care reform law that President Obama signed, even though it is modeled after one he signed in the Bay State. … In that hypothetical exchange, Romney said he would go on to ask, "Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you ask me whether the Massachusetts plan was working or not? What parts didn't work? What things you shouldn't do? Because I know this: Obamacare would bankrupt the nation" (Memoli, 6/2).
