The Irony Of Individual Mandate In Presidential Race

In the previous post I pointed out that Mitt Romney only a few years ago passionately defended the legal mandate to purchase health insurance. Obama on the other hand argued against it.
And of course, since it was upheld because it is a form of taxation, Obama again violates his 2008 election pledge not to raise taxes on families earning less than $250,000.

So now we are going to have a presidential race where the person who previously defended and implemented in Massachussetts a policy will argue for its nation wide repeal while his opponent will defend a policy he argued against until after he was elected.
