Team Romney says no, but:

“Mitt Romney adviser Norm Coleman, a former senator from Minnesota, predicted the GOP won’t repeal the Democrats’ healthcare reform law even if a Republican candidate defeats President Obama this November.

“You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president,” Coleman told BioCentury This Week television in an interview that aired on Sunday. “You can’t whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what’s been done.”

Coleman’s remarks are remarkable because every Republican candidate — including Romney — has vowed to make repealing the law a priority. Coleman is also the chairman of the American Action Network, which has urged the courts to strike down the law’s individual mandate and its Medicaid expansion.

Romney’s campaign quickly distanced itself from Coleman’s comments.

“With all due respect to Sen. Coleman, he’s wrong,” campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said via e-mail. “Gov. Romney can and will repeal Obamacare and is committed to doing so.”

Frankly I think Coleman is right. If Romney wins he doesn’t repeal Obamacare. After all he believes in the universal – government funded – healthcare of citizens. Come on, he created it in his own state and supports that effort 100 percent. I’ve never bought his flip flopping on the issue that somehow what he did in Mass doesn’t equate to the nationalization of medicine through Obamacare. I look at Coleman’s remarks as more of a Freudian Slip than anything else.
