This is driving some conservatives crazy in the political world, and it's got liberals laughing.
A pro-Obama ad has been released, that talks about an employee of a steel mill company who was laid off, lost his health benefits, and subsequently lost his wife to cancer after they could no longer afford healthcare coverage. That company who laid off workers, was owned by Bain.
Andrea Saul, Mitt's press secretary (apparently one of many), responded to the ad, while speaking to Fox News, by saying, " if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care."
As anyone would note: If America had adopted Romneycare, this man's wife would have had a better chance of surviving.
In other words, if Obamacare is repealed (as Republicans and Mitt have touted would be their first order of business), then what happened to this man will keep on happening in America, every day, even as Americans keep spending more on healthcare. People suffering and dying needlessly -- that's basically what Andrea Saul was warning America about, except not directly.
And that's why conservatives are mad at Andrea Saul.
