Romney, Patrick Spar over Obamacare

The two Massachusetts heads talked healthcare on Meet The Press.

Written by Roberto Scalese 

Former Governor Mitt Romney and current Governor Deval Patrick took to the small screen Sunday and in turn criticized and praised the Affordable Care Act—AKA Obamacare—on Meet The Press.

Romney pulled no punches, saying the faulty rollout of healthcare,gov and the wave of cancellation notices for the self-insured were "rotting" President Barack Obama's second term. Patrick, meanwhile, noted that the cancelled plans were substandard insurance policies that "disappears" when you needed them most. 

What do you think? Is the Massachusetts experience a model for how Obamacare will be received in the country? Or has the botched rollout doomed the healthcare program?
