How bad is health care for Mitt Romney, really?

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.
The dominant narrative about former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign goes something like this: Nice guy, great fundraiser, can’t win because of health care.

Like all political storylines, this one is overly simplistic — damn media! — and repeated endlessly by many people who have spent very little time delving into just how much of a problem Romney’s stewardship of a Massachusetts health care law will be for his presidential ambitions.
