http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/07/1141287/-As-Governor-Romney-Disapproved-of-Funding-Multiple-SclerosisI found this information ON THE RECORD, in the on-line Massachusetts Senate Journal on this date: July 14, 2003 Journal of the Senate, where it clearly states that Governor Romney DISAPPROVED OF A MEASELY $162,368 OF MS FUNDING for services, even though his wife, Ann HAS MS.
This is the most shocking item Governor Mitt disapproved of, funding for Multiple Sclerosis. This link includes Governor Romney's MS funding disapproval. Once you open this document, use FIND feature and search for "MS PASS."

Yes, I know about MS because I myself have it. I am also fortunate to have good insurance but I have seen what happens to those who don't. Having insurance can make a huge difference in the life of someone with MS. I am like Ann Romney and able to get around without the need of assistance. Like her my disability is not visible to the naked eye but unlike her I realize I am fortunate. I am grateful for it and hope in the future more Americans can get the same insurance and help.
Ann Romney has the chance to advocate for those less fortunate than her but frankly she doesn't give a damn.
