Posted by Sir Four at 6:36pm Oct 11 '11Newly obtained White House records provide fresh details on how senior Obama administration officials used Mitt Romney's landmark health-care law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law, including recruiting some of Romney's own health care advisers and experts to help craft the act now derided by Republicans as "Obamacare."ÃÂ The records, gleaned from White House visitor logs reviewed by NBC News, show that senior White House officials had a dozen meetings in 2009 with three health-care advisers and experts who helped shape the health care reform law signed by Romney in 2006, when the Republican presidential candidate was governor of Massachusetts. One of those meetings, on July 20, 2009, was in the Oval Office and presided over by President Barack Obama, the records show.
Interesting.
The sad thing is that Republicans 10 years ago would've been mostly behind what's in so-called Obamacare. But they've shifted so far to the right, that Ocare is considered some far leftist socialism or whatever. Related post.
