You see, Mitt has one big problem here... the solution HE signed into law as governor of Massachusetts includes just such a mandate, which he argues is not a tax. And it seems that his plan, which many call RomneyCare, is largely WORKING. Now, it's not identical to ObamaCare, but it's similar enough to make Romney's vehement opposition to ObamaCare look just a little hypocritical.
