Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will outline his plan to repeal the nation's health care law, in a major speech on Thursday that's sure to recall one of his own political liabilities.
As Massachusetts governor, Romney signed into law a health care plan that required most residents to obtain insurance coverage -- a mandate that's similar to the one contained in the federal law signed by Obama that Romney says he wants to overturn.
Obama has cited the Massachusetts law as an inspiration for the federal law that's been lambasted by nearly all the GOP hopefuls who want his job.

During a speech in New Hampshire in March, Romney defended the Massachusetts health care law as something that was "unique" to address the Bay State's issues.
