Romney vows to repeal and replace 'Obamacare' on law's anniversary
"Days before President Obama's signature health care law goes in front of the Supreme Court, GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney vowed to repeal and replace the health care law, speaking to a supportive crowd in a suburb of New Orleans.
"It's critical that we repeal Obamacare and, by the way, also replace it," he said. "I think I'm the only person in this race who's laid out what I would replace it with."
Romney said he plans to give a waiver to all 50 states discontinuing the president's plan – known formally as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- and returning health care responsibilities to the individual states. He wants to take Medicaid money currently administered by the federal government and give it to states as block grants. His plan also includes giving individuals the same tax break that companies get when they buy insurance for their employees, allowing individuals to buy insurance across state lines, and encouraging consumers to shop around for the least expensive medical services, creating competition among health care providers."
