Philosophically, Romneycare and Obamacare are the same

What is that sound that you hear?  It's the sound of silence.  I don't hear many Democrats stating how great Obamacare is. Instead, I hear some Democrats announcing praise on a Republican running for president, Mitt Romney.  They are praising Romneycare, because the philosophical basis of Romneycare--state control over health care, is the same as Obamacare.  And if that is true, why is there a need to fire Obama and hire Romney when, philosophically, following their policies will lead you to the same place?  Something to ponder during this Republican primary.
