Ann Romney To Visit Cancer Center That Benefited From Stimulus Funds
Ann Romney To Visit Cancer Center That Benefited From Stimulus Funds
By Igor Volsky
Ann Romney, a breast cancer survivor, will visit the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida on Wednesday which has received millions from the stimulus (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act). Her husband and his running mate Paul Ryan both opposed the measure, which President Obama signed into law in February of 2009.
Ann will tour the location and meet with patients and members of their families.
The Moffit H. Lee Cancer & Research Institute is Floridas only Comprehensive Cancer Center that conducts extensive research on cancer as well as providing advanced forms of treatment. It benefits from significant federal research funding, including $23,920,428 from the stimulus:
Romney and Ryan have criticized the presidents stimulus and its results. Romney has said the presidents vision has failed and released a statement saying the only thing President Obamas stimulus has produced is a series of broken promises on the three-year anniversary of the stimulus. These comments havent stopped the candidates from campaigning at sites that have benefited from the funding, however.
