Quick post because my computer is a p.o.s.
that was from Obama’s website.
Below is from democracynow.org, Jan. 2012 interview.
This man made a choice not to buy insurance for his wife.
JOE SOPTIC: The 401(k), well, I dont think our 401(k) was affected. Our retirement was affected. When they wentwhen we had thewhen we got the bankruptcy deal, I lost $400 off of my retirement, because the pension fund was underfunded.
AMY GOODMAN: Every month.
JOE SOPTIC: Yes, every month.
AMY GOODMAN: You lost $400. And what happened to your family?
JOE SOPTIC: Yeah. Well, basically, what happened, my wife had to quit working, and we didnt have any health insurance on her. I went to work for a suburban school district, so I had health insurance, but I had to start out at substantially less money. I went from about $59,000 a year down to $24,800 a year. And I couldnt afford health insurance on her. And she became ill, and we discovered that she had cancer. And, you know, we had no health insurance. So, the only recourse that I had was we took her to a county hospital. And unfortunately, she passed away from the cancer. And when she did, I had this big bill. And the only way thatthe county had agreed that they would cover the bill, but I had to liquidate all of my 401(k)s. So I lost my 401(k)s.
Wow. Why did his wife have to quit working?

When Ranae started losing weight, “I tried to get her to the doctor and she wouldn’t go,” Soptic said. She ended up in the county hospital with pneumonia, where doctors discovered her advanced lung cancer. She died two weeks later.
Soptic was left with nearly $30,000 in medical bills. He drained a $12,000 savings account and the hospital wrote off the balance.
“Well thank goodness Tennessee has enough right minded individuals that will protect me from 0bama choosing the next Supreme Court justices”

No replies?
You have framed the dilemma.
That’s because Ingtar sent me a clown car BS FReepmail how Romney will appoint liberal judges and a moderate crap. I suppose because it’s too embarrassing to post in the open.
I received one of those...What more can I say?
I’ve heard that after the steel plant closed, his wife was still employed and DID have health insurance.
LOL... I feel your pain. ;-)
We live in Connecticut - halfway between Boston and New York. The two big sports radio staions - WEEI (Boston) and WFAN (NYC) - are already ramped up for football. WEEI especially, as our Boston Red Sox have pretty much turned into the Dead Sox, right from the start of this sorry baseball season. So New England Patriots football chatter is quickly overtaking baseball analysis already. Nobody wants to analyze why the Dead Sox lost yet another game, I guess...
