*-- Romney says would keep parts of health law --*
WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he liked parts of President Barack Obama's U.S. healthcare overhaul and would retain them as president.

"I'm not getting rid of all of healthcare reform," Romney told NBC's "Meet the Press," breaking from a campaign pledge suggesting he would rescind Obama's entire healthcare plan on Day 1 of his presidency.

"Of course there are a number of things that I like in healthcare reform that I'm going to put in place. One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their family up to whatever age they might like.

"I also want individuals to be able to buy health insurance on their own, as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company."

These ideas, including letting families cover adult children with their policies through age 26, are part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Obama signed into law March 23, 2010.

Romney didn't say if people with pre-existing conditions would have to pay a higher premium if he were president than those without such conditions.

Obama's healthcare reform, informally called Obamacare, requires insurance companies to cover all applicants and offer the same rates, regardless of pre-existing conditions or the person's sex.
