Asked about his health-care program, Mitt Romney defended it, noting how much the state was losing due to free riders using hospital services. But he also stresses he will do his utmost to repeal Obamacare, beginning with an executive order on Day One of his presidency that will do as much as possible to cripple the policy.

Perry, who shot that Romney’s health-care program had taught the nation that an individual mandate wouldn’t work, also emphasized that he would sign an executive order right away that would gut Obamacare.

Bachmann noted that it would take more than an executive order to repeal Obamacare and stressed the need for “bold” leadership to ram legislation through to repeal the law. “This is our window of opportunity. If we fail to repeal Obamacare in 2012, it will be with us forever,” she said.
