Related: About this forumRomney Supports Some Obamacare Provisions On NBC, Then Quietly Reverses Hours Later!
Sep 9, 2012 at 8:53 pm
This morning on NBC, Mitt Romney said that there are a number of things that I like about Obamacare and suggested he would retain: 1. The guarantee that insurance companies couldnt discriminate against people with pre-exisiting conditions, and 2. The provision that allows young adults to stay on their parents plan.
Just hours later, his campaign quietly told a conservative website that he actually opposes those provisions of Obamacare:
In reference to how Romney would deal with those with preexisting conditions and young adults who want to remain on their parents plans, a Romney aide responded that there had been no change in Romneys position and that in a competitive environment, the marketplace will make available plans that include coverage for what there is demand for. He was not proposing a federal mandate to require insurance plans to offer those particular features.

It spews every different possible position and then changes it's mind.
