David Kurtz reports for Talking Points Memo on Mitt Romney's attempts to tap-dance away from the similarities between his health care reform package as Governor of Massachusetts and the recently passed national HCR.
Newsweek: Back in February 2007, you said you hoped the Massachusetts plan would "become a model for the nation." Would you agree that it has?
Mitt: I don't ... You're going to have to get that quote. That's not exactly accurate, I don't believe.
Many observers note these similarities including conservative commentators David Frum and Bruce Bartlett. Of course, those two gentlemen are not running for the 2012 GOP Presidential nomination and therefore have no need to pander to the Republican base.
