Mitt's Millions Can't Buy Iowans Health Care Reform
Date:11/20/2007

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On the same day the Los Angeles Times reported that cancer survivors could be left out of the leading Republican presidential candidates' health care proposals, smooth talking Mitt Romney is slated to discuss health care at Des Moines University today.

Romney may not have a health care agenda of his own, but he does have a plan for using his vast personal fortune to woo leading conservative activists and interest groups. According to the Boston Globe, Romney's charitable foundation gave tens of thousan
