Here's the link to CNN's article and an excerpt:

Romney stopped his day-to-day oversight at Bain Capital in 1999 when he left to run the Salt Lake City Olympics, though he officially remained CEO until 2002. Bain Capital shut down GST Steel in 2001, costing Soptic his job.

According to Mr. Soptic, his wife received her primary insurance through her employer – a local thrift store called Savers – and retained it even after his layoff. Soptic's policy through GST Steel was her secondary coverage.

In 2002, Mitt Romney formally left Bain. Sometime in 2002 or 2003, Mr. Soptic says his wife injured her rotator cuff and was forced to leave her job. As a result she lost her health insurance coverage and Mr. Soptic's new job as a janitor did not provide coverage for his spouse.

It was a few years later, in 2006, that Ilyona Soptic went to the hospital with symptoms of pneumonia. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer and passed away just days later.

Then no amount of health insurance coverage would have even made a difference even if all of the other allegations / inferences we are supposed to believe were true (which none of them are).

This is beyond disgusting.

obamabots commenting on the article see nothing wrong with falsely accusing Romney of murder.

The wardrobe and location for ole Joe looks remarkably similar in this ‘uncoordinated’ ad and the previous Obama ad:

Look for yourself:
