Gov. Patrick gives Romney praise he may not want: Lauds his role in health overhaul

The Boston Globe reports:
Governor Deval Patrick praised Mitt Romney yesterday for crafting the successful 2006 health care law in Massachusetts, presenting fresh fodder for Romney’s critics as he struggles to explain to GOP presidential primary voters why he authored a law that became a model for President Obama’s national health care overhaul.


Patrick, appearing on ABC’s Sunday news show “This Week’’ while attending the winter meeting of the National Governors Association, singled out health care as an issue the former Massachusetts Republican governor “deserves a lot of credit’’ for. “One of the best things he did was to be the coauthor of our health care reform, which has been a model for national health care reform,’’ Patrick said.
