What am I missing here? The guy’s wife makes over $170K a year and he can’t afford to see a doctor? BS.

My dad recently went to the hospital for chest pains. Spent one night and had a stress test done. Turns out it was acid reflux. The bill? $40,000.

It’s worse than that . . . The mister, Alvin Wiederspahn, was a banking exec.

“In 2007-2008, Rep. Lummis’ financial disclosure forms reported a net worth between $20 million and $75 million, landing her spot No. 15 on RollCall.com’s list of the 50 wealthiest members in both houses of Congress” . . .

Sheer stupidity to have her say anything.

You don’t get to having a $20 million net worth by throwing $40,000 at every case of the sniffles. Bad guess on Mr. Wiederspahn’s part, is all

But if he’d known he was insured he would have undoubtedly been more inclined to take what turned out to be the correct course of action. ObamaCare functioned as a preemptive “death panel” in this case. With the victim’s cooperation. In effect he was the victim of a phishing attack which discouraged him from the proper course of action.
