On NBC's "Meet The Press," the former Massachusetts governor says this is particularly bad because he believes the failure of Obamacare is undermining the foundation of the President's second term. Romney says Obama was wrong to tell Americans would not lose their insurance coverage because of the Obamacare plan. There are companies across the country which are altering their healthcare plans, including the dropping of spousal coverage as a result of the costs involved in the Obamacare plan. Romney says premiums are going up across the country. The man who lost the election to Obama nearly a year ago says Obamacare barely made it through Congress. He said if he were President, he would give states more flexibility in determining how to proceed with getting their citizens covered. Romney also said shutting down the government was not the right way to try to repeal and replace Obamacare.
