On the heels of Thursday's Supreme Court decision to uphold the majority of President Obama’s healthcare reform law, the Mitt Romney campaign heralded a simple message in a new Web video: "Day one. Job one. Repeal ObamaCare."
"In a few months, Americans will cast their ballots and make a choice," the video said. "Do we continue on a path of rising, out of control healthcare costs? Do we continue with massive tax increases to fund a new $2 trillion program? Do we continue stifling our economy with a growing government that discourages hiring? Or do we chart a new course and change directions?"
The minute-long ad laid out a simple itinerary for Romney's first day as president, if elected: "The Supreme Court may have made their decision, but the American people haven't. Day one. Job one. Repeal ObamaCare."
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said Thursday that the Supreme Court's decision would put an unprecedented tax burden on Americans amongst other responsibilities.
"ObamaCare raises taxes on the American people by $500 billion," Romney said Thursday at a press conference across the street from the U.S. Capitol. "ObamaCare cuts Medicare — cuts Medicare by approximately $500 billion.
"And even with those cuts and tax increases, ObamaCare adds trillions to our deficits and to our national debt, and pushes those obligations onto coming generations."
