Mitt Romney: Proud of Massachusetts health care law

(By MAGGIE HABERMAN, POLITICO.com) - Mitt Romney rejected Mike Huckabee's call for him to admit that the "RomneyCare" health care program failed, instead saying he's "proud" of "getting everyone covered" when he was governor of Massachusetts.

"Mitt Romney is proud of what he accomplished for Massachusetts in getting everyone covered,” Romney’s spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, told the 'Boston Globe', in the first direct response Team Mitt made to Huckabee's criticism of the health plan in his new book.

Fehrnstrom also put daylight between the Romney health care bill and President Obama's reform package, which is unpopular among voters and is the subject of several lawsuits by different states.
