A tax that his opponent supported. Before he opposed it.
A tax that will only be paid by people who a) don't have insurance now, b) don't want to buy insurance, and c) have a relatively high income that takes them out of subsidy range.
While this is entirely accurate that this is a tax that will likely only apply to 1% or less of Americans, that wont stop the GOP/Romney/Superpacs from running ads with..
Look at how they have convinced people to be against the Estate Tax, which effects like 0.01% of Americans or even convinced people that Obama has already raised their taxes (he lowered them) and wants to raise them even more (he only wants to raise taxes on high incomes).
