What does Obamacare have to do with coal layoffs?
Thanks for highlighting those sentences for me.
CHARLESTON, W.Va.-- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney promises that one of his first acts in office will be to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
In his campaign for West Virginia governor, Republican Bill Maloney also bashes the law. So does GOP Senate candidate John Raese.
Seldom mentioned in the debate over health care, though, is that repealing the act would remove a major new provision of black lung law that has made it easier for disabled miners or their widows to get federal benefits for the deadly disease.
"Repeal of the Affordable Care Act would strip away access to critically important benefits for miners with black lung and their widows," said Phil Smith, a spokesman for the United Mine Workers union.
"It took 30 years to restore the ability for most victims to get black lung benefits after the last Republican attack on them," Smith said. "With this insidious disease once again on the rise, miners and their families cannot afford to lose access to federal black lung benefits again."
ONCE AGAIN, I did NOT say Rove was responsible nor did I say it was done behind his back.

Twinkies have nothing to do with health care legislation.
Most of the businesses in my small community went broke right after Walmart came to town.
