Claim: The Obama campaign has repeatedly said that Mitt Romney was wrong when he claimed at the first debate that "preexisting conditions are covered under my  plan." We mostly agree. Romney's comments implied that he would keep the provisions of the Affordable Care Act that guarantee coverage for all, regardless of preexisting conditions. But the campaign has given different explanations for what Romney meant, saying at first that he would leave it to the states and then saying he would expand federal law for those with "continuous coverage."
