Mitt Romney actually said...

"The Supreme Court is the final word, right? Isn't that the highest court in the land? And they said it was a tax, didn't they? So it's a tax, of course, if that's what they say it is."

"He wants to institute free market policies on health care. He wants to take the government out between the patient and their doctors, and he wants to make sure that people have more freedom and choice..."

"But the important thing to note is that Governor Romney says, like it or not, the Supreme Court has ruled, it's the law of the land, it is a tax."

"He's going to repeal it."
