i know the debate over this law has been ddivisive. i respect the very real concerns americans have shared. i know a lot of coverage through this health care debate has focused on what it means politically. it should be clear by now i didn t do this because it was good politics. president obama today. here s mitt romney. i disagree with the supreme court s decision. i agree with the dissent. what the court did not do on its last day in session i will do on my first day if elected pre eed president of the united states. i will act to repeal obama care. governor romney called it bad law and bad policy. but keeping them honest it is also nearly identical to his own plan as governor of massachusetts. as for the mandate, well, keeping them honest, justice roberts today contradicted a key claim the president made. the president said that mandate was not a tax. for us to say that you ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.
