UPDATE:

Eliana, I reached out to the Romney campaign for clarification about Mitt Romney’s remarks this morning about liking some parts of Obamacare. An aide pointed out that Romney first said on Meet the Press that “I say we are going to replace Obamacare. And I am replacing it with my own plan.”

In reference to how Romney would deal with those with preexisting conditions and young adults who want to remain on their parents’ plans, a Romney aide responded that there had been no change in Romney’s position and that “in a competitive environment, the marketplace will make available plans that include coverage for what there is demand for. He was not proposing a federal mandate to require insurance plans to offer those particular features.”

Aaaaaaannnnnnd fuck you Romney.

No. The market place will not find a way to cover those with pre-existing conditions. Why on earth would it?

It didn't before. Which was exactly the point of having it included in Obamacare.

And the marketplace isn't going to provide hundreds of thousands of care for those in poverty.

Are you implying that insurers aren't altruistic? WTF?
