Obama's health insurance rule — it was a GOP idea (AP)

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks with Elizabeth Brackett at the Chase Auditorium in Chicago, in this photo taken Wednesday, March 24, 2010. None of the potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates has been more aggressive than Romney in criticizing the new health care overhaul. Then again, none shares his vulnerability on the issue. The new law bears striking similarities to one the former Massachusetts governor signed in 2006, and that's creating an uncomfortable straddle for Romney as his party makes attacking 'Obamacare' its primary message this midterm year. (AP Photo/Charles Cherney)AP - Republicans were for President Barack Obama's requirement that Americans get health insurance before they were against it. The obligation in the new health care law is a Republican idea that's been around at least two decades. It was once trumpeted as an alternative to Bill and Hillary Clinton's failed health care overhaul in the 1990s. These days, Republicans call it government overreach.
