Now that the healthcare debate has shifted away from the Medicare issue and is focusing on the guts of Obamacare vs Romneycare, Obama has the advantage.
7-2, Romney. xDaunt, you don't realize that the average person does not listen to the points or arguments. They pay attention to the image and the sound of the debate. And Romney is coming across as sort of desperate while the president looks calm and collected. I agree the moderator's behavior is adding to this perception to some degree, but Romney is too hyper.
Sure, I'm just scoring the debate points right now. I'll definitely be considering image in my summary post after the debate.

So...what was Romney's plan for healthcare? In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government’s role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition.
Restore State Leadership and Flexibility
Mitt will begin by returning states to their proper place in charge of regulating local insurance markets and caring for the poor, uninsured, and chronically ill. States will have both the incentive and the flexibility to experiment, learn from one another, and craft the approaches best suited to their own citizens.
Block grant Medicaid and other payments to states
Limit federal standards and requirements on both private insurance and Medicaid coverage
Ensure flexibility to help the uninsured, including public-private partnerships, exchanges, and subsidies
Ensure flexibility to help the chronically ill, including high-risk pools, reinsurance, and risk adjustment
Offer innovation grants to explore non-litigation alternatives to dispute resolution
Promote Free Markets and Fair Competition
Competition drives improvements in efficiency and effectiveness, offering consumers higher quality goods and services at lower cost. It can have the same effect in the health care system, if given the chance to work.
Cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits
Empower individuals and small businesses to form purchasing pools
Prevent discrimination against individuals with pre-existing conditions who maintain continuous coverage
Facilitate IT interoperability
Empower Consumer Choice
For markets to work, consumers must have the information and the power to make decisions about their own care. Placing the patient at the center of the process will drive quality up and cost down while ensuring that services are designed to provide what Americans actually want.
End tax discrimination against the individual purchase of insurance
Allow consumers to purchase insurance across state lines
Unshackle HSAs by allowing funds to be used for insurance premiums
Promote "co-insurance" products
Promote alternatives to "fee for service"
Encourage "Consumer Reports"-type ratings of alternative insurance plans Source Yeah thats really...specific... What do you want? An actual 3,000 page legislation? You're never going to get that from a candidate. his plan is business as usual.

how specific do you people want? be realistic here, even if you are biased. he's got two minutes with a Mod who doesn't like him and is all over Obama's junk, he doesn't have much time for specifics.

The role of government question - Obama danced around it. Romney is answering it.

The people of the USA are all Christians apparently.

i lol @ Romney bringing up "the principles of the Constitution"
the entire purpose of the Constitution was to greatly expand the power of the federal government

TBh the rights of Americans were thrown out a long time ago.
Also expect an Ad of Romney saying he doesn't want more teachers, to tonight saying he never said he didn't want more teachers.

WTF is this. Has this rant something to do with the question?

How about a several page? Like let's say 20. If I was asked to do a term paper and I did less than 2 pages I wouldn't expect a good grade. I hold a presidential candidate to a larger standard than myself. So let's say.. as many pages as it would take to detail an actual plan instead of some wishful thinking and ideas.
