Fact-checking Mitt Romney on the Massachusetts individual mandate

By

During Thursday night’s CNN debate — the final such event before the Florida primary on Tuesday, January 31 — Rick Santorum attacked Mitt Romney over the individual mandate contained in the health reform legislation passed by Romney as governor of Massachusetts.

Santorum said that Romney’s mandate requires individuals to buy an insurance policy “as a condition of breathing.” He called it a top-down model that is “no different than Barack Obama’s mandate.”
