McConnell Won’t Say If Romneycare Mandate Is A Tax

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told Fox News Sunday that the Supreme Court ruling means the health care reform law is “a middle class tax increase.”

But the GOP leader dodged several questions about whether Mitt Romney’s similar health care mandate in Massachusetts is a tax.

“Well I think Gov. Romney will have to speak for himself about what was done in Massachusetts,” McConnell said. “I can tell you that every single Democratic senator voted for this tax increase.”
