Part of tonight’s debate will likely focus on Mitt Romney’s record as governor of Massachusetts. NBC News has just revealed that newly obtained White House records provide fresh details on how senior Obama administration officials used Romney’s landmark healthcare law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law. The records show that senior White House officials had a dozen meetings in 2009 with three of Romney’s own healthcare advisers and experts who helped shape the healthcare reform law signed by Romney in 2006. One of those meetings, on July 20, 2009, was in the Oval Office and presided over by President Obama, the records show. Romney has forcefully defended the Massachusetts law he signed but has called for the repeal of what he has called “Obamacare.”
