[287], Immediately after the March 2010 passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Romney attacked the landmark legislation as "an unconscionable abuse of power" and said it should be repealed.

[386], The Romneys bought a home in the Deer Valley area of Park City, Utah,[387][388] and a property in Holladay, Utah, where they planned to tear down an existing house and build a new one. Several caucuses and primaries took place during February, and Santorum won three in a single night early in the month, propelling him into the lead in national and some state polls and positioning him as Romney's chief rival.
