Pub dupes, fighting to the death for their freedom to be absolutely screwed by the greedy rich.
Romneycare for all- a proven success, dingbats.
Thanks for the world depression and the total obstruction.
fuckin' SuperPACs suck....no.matter who h side is running the ads.
Damn that free speech!
Free speech?
FIRE!!!!!
Well not really but hey I got your attention.
Superpacs suck
On this Obama was right
Wow. The woman (the wife) in question had her own insurance even after this man was laid off at Bain.
It's a complete and utter lie.
Candidates don't have any say about their Superpac's ads and what they say. I'm sure there is misinformation in most of them (Romney & Obama).
Did the woman have health insurance at the time she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer? She died 22 days after being diagnosed.

Whoopsie. Here's the link.
Fact check: Woman in pro-Obama death ad had health insurance
from the article:
CNN's Brianna Keilar and Wolf Blitzer did some fact checking and found that the woman in the ad had insurance after her husband, Joe Soptic, lost his job at GST Steel when it closed in 2001 - two years after Romney left Bain. That fact was left out of the pro-Obama ad.
Keilar said Tuesday that Soptic's wife had insurance until 2002 or 2003 when an injury forced her to leave her job.
In other words, the Obama PAC not only lied in the ad, making it appear that Romney himself was responsible for the woman's death, but it failed to provide all of the facts.
Man what scumbuckets. I have no doubt they knew the truth but wanted to smear Romney anyway.

FactCheck.org : Is Romney to Blame for Cancer Death?
Under Obamacare Mr. Soptic would have been fined for not providing her with health insurance.
He had a pension and his janitorial job making the same amount of money as he had at the mill according to the WP.
You can't spin your way out of this. Mr. Soptic lied. The ad is a lie. And now his campaign staff have been caught out lying about the lies in the lying ad.
Mrs Soptic did not lose her healthcare because her husband lost his job
'When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my healthcare. And my family lost their healthcare,' Mr Soptic states in the video.
But that's not true, he admits.
At the time he lost his job, Mr Soptic was earning about $41,000 a year. Mrs Soptic also had a job working at a local thrift store that gave her health insurance, CNN reports.
She kept the job, and the health benefits, until she was forced to quit in 2003 after an injury.
Mrs Soptic died five years after the plant shut down
Here's how the ad plays the timeline: Mr Soptic describes losing his health insurance as a result of the plant closure.
'A short time after that, my wife became ill,' he says.
However, it was not until 2006 -- five years after the plant closed -- that this happened, Mr Soptic has admitted.
'I dont know how long she was sick, and I think maybe she didnt say anything because she knew that we couldnt afford the insurance,' he says in the ad.

People die when they cant get healthcare.
its a fact of life
No one is turned away from the emergency room. Its the law.
Yeah and it why healthcare is so expensive
Dear idiot,
more Americans are now covered
In theory. Out here in realityland, COBRA is too expensive for the unemployed and many new hires are contract laborers with no coverage. Obama lied, AGAIN.
And when your COBRA runs out, and you try to get private insurance, you get turned down for pre-existing conditions. Happened to me and the wife last month.
Luckily starting in 2014 you won't be able to be turned down for pre-existing conditions.Dear idiot,

You have my sincere sympathy since I have been there and done that. Until 2014 the only way you can get health insurance with pre-existing health problems is through an employers group policy. I know it is tough, but one of you will have to get a job where health is provided.

If you can't wait, why not move to MA? I understand Mitt Romney set in place a very good healthcare system called Romneycare.
It's typical with new legislation to give a grace period to the companies that must abide by it.Luckily starting in 2014 you won't be able to be turned down for pre-existing conditions.And when your COBRA runs out, and you try to get private insurance, you get turned down for pre-existing conditions.

If Obamacare is so terrific, why did they kick the can down the road into 2014 before the benefits start up? Why didn't they want to help people as quickly as they could? What are they trying to hide until it's too late?

This dead woman is not running for president.
Stop lying about her without proof
Well thanks for admitting that you think it is ok to Lie about someone with out proof, as long as they are running for President.
lol
What lie have I told or backed?
"When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my health care, and my family lost their health care." And a short time after that my wife became ill." “She went to the hospital for pneumonia,” the story states, “but doctors found signs of very advanced cancer, and she died two weeks later on June 22.”
But in an interview with CNN, Soptic said that when he lost his job at GS Industries in 2001, his wife still had health insurance through her job as an employee at Savers, a local thrift store. He told CNN that she left her job in 2002 or 2003 because of an injury, and that she then became uninsured because she didn’t have a fall-back insurance option through his employer.
According to the Kansas City Star, Ranae Soptic, 55, died in 2006, five years after the GS Industries plant was closed.
