Mitt Romney is a "New-Deal Republican". He was a consistent supporter of Obamacare until this election campaign, once in the White House Mitt Romney would not repeal this bill but tweak it in modest ways and retain the individual mandate

.
And in any case, President Obama will also tweak his Health Care Law in the same ways as Romney will have to do. Same result with two different presidents and two different ruling parties.

In 2002, while campaigning in Massachusetts, Romney said, “My views are progressive.” - Mitt Romney, greatest chameleon in the political scene, master of flip-flopping and Topmost Opportunist will never repeal ObamaCare, and can not try to do it without falling in a Great Ridicule, because he has always praised and felt pride in his RomneyCare for Massachusetts, which is 100% identical and equal to ObamaCare in the essentials and in the "Individual Mandate", the obligation to buy Health Insurance, under penalties of not doing so.

Some people think that Romney would govern from the right because pressure in the republican primaries to campaign to the right would force him to keep his promises to govern from the right. That is absurd, because once Romney is President in the White House, he would have no pressure, and he can procrastinate when he sees a lot of opposition to killing ObamaCare. That opposition will naturally flow from those that are receiving tangible benefits from the Health Care Overhaul of President Obama and the Democratic Party.

Yes, I repeat this very important and extremely outstanding feature of the new legislation : it helps many people in their personal lives.

And the History of Romney as an Opportunist and Flip-Flopper ensures that he will conform to the easiest path to govern without too much trouble.

Most probably Obama will win in November 2012, but if I am wrong, then Mitt Romney will be a Liberal Republican, a "Massachusetts Governor" in the White House with similar behavior as in his Governorship, some people even talk of an "FDR Republican".

But let's be realistic : the obstacle of RomneyCare seems insurmountable for Mitt Romney to reach the White House, because repealing ObamaCare seems to be number one objective of the Republican Party.
