Update: the man's wife, in fact, had her own insurance coverage dating from before GST Steel closed its doors. If his wife did not have insurance coverage, that was the result of an issue with her employer and not Mitt Romney 7 years after he quit Bain Capital. Even the NYTimes has condemned this ad - but Obama remains silent.
<<<< As you listen to this minion talk about the death of his wife because of Romney's callousness as the head of Bain Capital, you need to be aware of a few of facts - that he, himself (the minion), surely knows:
First, Romney left Bain in 1999 to prepare for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Utah. Secondly, no one claims he had anything to do with Bain after 2002 -- no one. The steel mill (GST Steel) in which this man was employed was kept viable (under Bain management) for 8 years, but finally closed in 2002, two years after Romney left the "controls" at Bain. The man's wife contracted cancer and died in 2006, more than half a decade after Romney had left the company, near the end of Romney's time as Governor of Massachusetts !!
