Romney defends Mass. plan

A growing sense in the Republican Party that health care reform of any kind is the enemy, and attacks on the Massachusetts plan from Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, appear to have prompted Mitt Romney to launch a defense of his legacy in that state, which now insures far more of its residents than any other.

Romney defended his plan on the Early Show this morning, and also called into Sean Hannity's radio show (.m4a) yesterday to differentiate his plan from Obama's (and offer some praise for the beauty of ... New Hampshire.)

"You can have portable insurance, you can have everybody covered, and you don't have to have government insurance," he told Hannity, maintaining a stance of pride in his plan while objecting to some features added by the state legislature.

In response to complaints about cost, Romney said his state's plan was "entirely in keeping with the original projections" and that the costs were "modest," with any cost increase being the fault of the legislature.
