Romney wrote an op-ed for USA Today back in '09 suggesting to Pres. Obama how the successful Mass. plan could be translated to a federal plan. At that time he praised the individual mandate as necessary in order for such a plan to work.
He changed his tune after he started running for the 2012 ticket.

Ah, so it was Romney who turned Obama around from his refusal to back the Individual Mandate back in 2008 ?
No, that was Blue-dog Democrats who naively thought that they would get political cover by embracing a Republican plan only to watch the Republicans run away from it and pretend that they never had anything to do with the idea and say that only socialist devils would approve of an individual mandate.
