To: worst-case scenario
Yeah, I saw Mathews play this clip over and over. Mistake playing into the stereotype. Someone should have tried to get into the details of the guy's story. I assume with Parkinsons, he can't work. If that is the case, I would imagine he was already in the government safety net, i.e. on SSI and Medicaid. So Obamacare would not have been directed to this guy anyway. Makes me wonder how much of this episode may have been staged.

There are interviews with him on YouTube that were madee by some Ohio group named “ProgressOhio” that went looking for him afterward. It is very informative to watch them.

He is on Medicaid. He says that he went not for his own need for help, but to get health care for other people.

After watching him, I personally do not think the episode was staged. Of course the videos were filmed by Progressives, but he seems believable. Let me know what you think after you’ve seen them.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a video of this guy playing tennis were to surface. Wonderful for the heckler. And even more wonderful for the guy to be able to walk!

Is there any proof the guy really has Parkinsons disease?
