Obama: Romney Health Care Claim ‘Fact-Checked By His Own Campaign’

President Obama said at a campaign event in Virginia today that Mitt Romney’s claim that his health plan would cover people with pre-existing conditions was “fact-checked by his own campaign. That is rough.”

The Romney campaign clarified the former governor’s claim after the debate this week, saying states will have to pass their own versions of Romney’s health care plan to cover people with pre-existing conditions.
