Romney campaign's response to "Understands" ad: Romneycare! [View all]
Politico:
A Mitt Romney spokesperson offered an unusual counterattack Wednesday to an ad in which a laid-off steelworker blames the presumptive GOP nominee for his family losing health care: If that family had lived in Massachusetts, it would have been covered by the former governors universal health care law.
To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romneys health care plan, they would have had health care, Andrea Saul, Romneys campaign press secretary, said during an appearance on Fox News. There are a lot of people losing their jobs and losing their health care in President [Barack] Obamas economy.
The ad by Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting Obama, features Joe Soptic, a steelworker from Indiana who was laid off from a plant owned by Romney-founded Bain Capital, discussing his wifes cancer and eventual death. Soptic said his family lost health insurance after he was laid off.
...and now, they would have health care anyplace. Your point being?
