The major difference - and it is a BIG difference - is that Romney care is only enforceable in Massachussets, but Obamacare is mandated in all 50 states, even if the good citizens of Texas don't want it !

As a Federalist, I am ok with the states having the freedom to decide those kinds of government services. Originally Posted by Whirlaway
