Having lived under both Romneycare and Obamacare, I can say that they were not at all the same thing. In fact, Obamacare made many of the best features of Romneycare illegal.
You could pick out a few small things that favor free enterprise, perhaps, and say they were the best features of Romneycare. The fact remains that most of the features of the two programs are the same, and that the features of Obamacare were originally Republican proposals.
Now the extreme laissez faire trickle-downers have completely taken over your Party, and they will not compromise or come up with anything workable or useful to the people at all. Except perhaps, in a few states like yours where they have to work with Democratic majorities.
