NEW YORK (June 29, 2012)--Mitt Romney says the U.S. Supreme Court's health care law decision injected "greater urgency" into the presidential race.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee told donors Friday in New York City that this new urgency is galvanizing voters across the country and he said there's only one way to ensure that the health care law he calls "Obamacare" will be repealed and that’s to defeat President Barack Obama in November.

Romney commented a day after the nation's highest court upheld Obama's health care overhaul.

Romney says many people assumed the court would "do the work that was necessary" in repealing the law, but he says the court "didn't get that job done."

His campaign has reported raising more than $4 million online since the court's ruling Thursday.
