(SALT LAKE CITY) – Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said President Barack Obama is “scapegoating” insurance companies after failing to get health-care legislation passed in Congress. Romney told commentators on the “Fox News Sunday” program that it’s something Obama is fond of doing when one of his programs runs into trouble. Obama is pushing Congress to approve the most sweeping U.S. health-care legislation in more than four decades. Republican lawmakers and 62% of the American public are unified against the plan and have urged Democrats to start the process over. 62-year old Romney, who lost the 2008 Republican nomination to Sen. John McCain or Arizona, said he hasn’t decided whether to run for president in 2012 and won’t make a decision until after this year’s congressional elections.
