A spokesperson for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Wednesday shocked conservatives by suggesting that a woman whose husband was laid off from a Bain Capital-owned plant would have lived if she had been covered by a health care law similar to President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
As Obamney care moves along more and more will see this is a good bill. The problem is that Mr.Steal your pension and load you with debt Romney wants to eliminate it on his first day.
Uh, no. Not really. That piece concentrates more on Team Obama denying any culpability in the production of that ad by a supporting PAC, (which ALL candidates do, including Romney), but it leaves the basic story untouched. Even your link does not deny that the man lost his job when Bain closed the plant, nor that he and his wife had no insurance when she was diagnosed with cancer. It makes the point that 5 years had elapsed, thereby implying that he could have done better during that time, but avoiding the fact that had he not lost his job at the steel mill Bain closed in the first place, it wouldn't have been an issue. In effect, they're making the usual Republican case of blame the victim.
And, Team Romney's defense is wrapped up in the very real controversy about just when he really did leave Bain Capital.

The plant was closing when Bain bought it and left it open longer than it would have otherwise.
Jeez Romney is turning out to be the worst candidate EVER...so many skeletons in his closet and Romneycare = Obamacare.
GOP should have tried harder to get Jeb Bush on the ticket.
