Health Reform: A cancer patient who spoke out against the cancellation of his insurance by ObamaCare now faces an IRS audit he may not live to see, and says he'll pay the fine rather than burden his family.
Bill Elliott knows the meaning of the adage that the only two things that are certain are death and taxes, for he is now staring both in the face.
Like the Tea Party before him, Elliott faces an IRS audit for speaking out against the ObamaCare that canceled his insurance coverage he liked and was promised he could keep.
He appeared recently on Charleston, S.C.'s WQSC and was told by the radio host that "you stood up and spoke out about how ObamaCare screwed over your insurance and probably would kill you, and what's the next thing that happened? You get audited by the IRS. That is not a coincidence."
Elliott responded, "No, it's not."
"I like my doctor. I love my insurance," Elliott told Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly last Thursday night. "They were paying just about everything, including medication and medical devices."
Then he got the letter that told him that his cancer was considered "beyond a catastrophic pre-existing condition" and his plan was being canceled because of new regulations.
Elliott says he was given the option of a new $1,500-per-month plan, up from the $180 per month or so that he'd been paying.
"Now with ObamaCare, the man that I've got looked into it, they are not going to pay for pharmaceuticals or medical devices. MRI that I had last month before I got canceled was $3,000. Now, if I have to have another one, it costs me out of my pocket $3,000," Elliott told Kelly on Nov. 7.

Who did he vote for?
I see. He voted for Obama. Sorry. He is getting EXACTLY what he wanted and EXACTLY what he deserves.
Pay the first month, then stop.
Still think we live in the land of the free? Sweet land of liberty? From sea to shining sea?
I see. He voted for Obama. Sorry. He is getting EXACTLY what he wanted and EXACTLY what he deserves.Yeah, where were these people when the Pubs were shouting this from the rooftops?
Can "We The People" find no champion to defend us from this vain and odious tyrant?
BTW, have you tried buying ammunition lately?
Lots of bare shelves.
The cancer patient gets to keep his insurance:

The IRS is auditing him AND the guy who pointed him in the right direction to the ‘rule’ that forced the insurance company to keep his policy active (this is the person who wrote the article above). More people with cancer, etc. who are being cancelled should be aware of this rule and use it if they can - see below:
“This is the worst time to cancel someone’s coverage. And, that is precisely why Public Law 104-191 was written and passed by Congress in 1997. It was written to protect Americans from such a situation. I am writing this article not just to help Bill but to help all Americans who are suffering from an ongoing preexisting condition. If you are one of the 5 million Americans who have already received a policy termination letter or one of the 14 million Americans who will soon receive a letter, you need to print out Public Law 104-191 and highlight section 2742 and then contact an attorney. Or, if you have access to your governor – as Bill does – (his governor is the awesome Nikki Haley) contact your governor or state Attorney General’s office because your health insurer is violating a Federal law based on a posting in the Federal register that was not passed by Congress and as such does not trump an existing Federal law.”
Just a distant memory, but most Americans could care less. They truly believe that government can "solve" any "problem".
Even as recently as November 2013, most of those going to the polls were still stuck on tyranny.
tis the season to stockpile ammo. fa la la la la la la la la
..is the (cancer law) measure, statewide or federal?
I believe it’s federal (link in article I posted will take you straight to it):
HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996 (Public Law 104-191 104th Congress)
BTTT.
Awesome find!
I believe there is an overabundance of Obunga followers who actually believed it WASN'T going to COST THEM any more than they were already paying, or that they may eventually be getting something for nothing.
Live and learn.
Is he still strong enough to swing a baseball bat?
“They truly believe that government can “solve” any “problem”.”..........
The gubmint IS the problem and are unable or unwilling to solve themselves. They are too busy pushing crap like odumbocare down our throats instead of doing the things that are REALLY needed. Certainly the U.S. health care system needed some “repair” but it did NOT need anything like odumbocare.
Where the *ell are Boehner and Cantor? Those girly men are focusing on amnesty when this guy should be used a poster child for 0bummercare!
