This uninsured had a heart attack and his wife fell ill and are begging for donations with a $30,000 goal because they are so ardently against obummercare.
Do a search engine for former Arizona county sheriff Richard Mack who said:
"The States do not have to take or support or pay for Obamacare or anything else from Washington DC. The States are not subject to federal direction," he wrote on his website, outlining how state governments can block President Obama."
Now he is on GoFundMe website begging others to act like c*******ts and pay his bills instead of paying for his own.
I wonder if he'll ever find the courage to be grateful for being able to buy insurance now that he is living proof of it's benefits.
1. Without obummercare, he and his wife would have pre-existing conditions that wouldn't be covered by any pre-obummercare policy.
2. Without obummercare, there would not be an annual limit with insurance he buys to protect his finances by limiting his out of pocket expenses.
3. Without obummercare, there would not be a lifetime limit to protect him from financial ruin.
One donor wrote, "Sheriff Mack, I hope you and your wife and family do get healthy...But turning around and BEGGING FOR MONEY to pay for your health recovery, AFTER YOU staunchly tried to OBSTRUCT the ACA, is APPALLING, REPREHENSIBLE, AND OBSCENE!!!
Other obummercare critics only ever complain that their premium and deductible increased and will never acknowledge that there is a price to pay for freedom - you either beg, borrow or steal if there's no insurance or you protect your finances with an ACA policy.
Fools bailing him out. God bless them.

So, let's look at the numbers and add them up to see if Obamacare has solved our problem of uninsured Americans:

http://www.newsmax.com/US/Obamacare-Huckabee-employers-employees/2014/10/04/id/598644/Betsy McCaughey: 30 Million Could Lose Healthcare Due to Obamacare; Saturday, 04 Oct 2014 10:54 PM By Todd Beamon
It was estimated that prior Obamacare 47 million Americans were uninsured.
After Obamacare's expansion of Medicaid and the State exchanges, 57% of the 47 million had new coverage = 27 million gained. But then, small businesses cut employee hours and jobs because of the high cost of Obamacare insurance policies. The end result is 92 million Americans either unemployed or under-employed.
So where are we?
-47 million uninsured prior Obamacare
+27 million newly insured after Obamacare
-30 million dropped insurance by employers after Obamacare mandate
TOTAL = -50 million uninsured after Obamacare
We are losing ground here, guys, and we are not even addressing the fact that Obamacare has skyrocketed costs of state and federal regulated health insurance policies by thousands of dollars.
What do you think about that? There are more uninsured today than prior Obamacare. How do we remedy this? The Public Option, or the Free Market?
How about opening up interstate commerce so we can shop across all 50 state borders for a policy of our personal choice amongst the 1700 health insurance companies out there? We can keep the "no dropping" and "no exclusion of preexisting conditions" clauses in Obamacare. Take a look at HR 3121 The American Health Care Reform Act.
https://www.congress.gov/search?q=%7B%22source%22%3A%22legislation%22%7DThe Democrats are still trying to quarantine the working poor by job, zip code and health insurance. Don't you get what is going on?
The Democrats are still trying to destroy the entire health insurance industry. The Democrats want the Public Option so that the SEIU might gain 1*6th the US workforce in forced membership and union dues, the same dudes who finance the Democrat Party's campaign coffers.
