On Tuesday, President Barack Obama said if the Supreme Court struck down Obamcare on Thursday, such a decision would, according to a Financial Times account, send the country “backwards” and Americans did not want to “re-fight” healthcare. 

At a campaign stop in Virginia's coal country, Mitt Romney counterpunched, according to the Financial Times, saying that if Obamacare is ruled to be unconstitutional, “then the first three and a half years of this president’s term will have been wasted on something that has not helped the American people.”

Romney also said if Obamacare stands, “then we’ll have to have a president – and I’m that one – that’s going to get rid of ObamaCare. We’re gonna stop it on day one."
