Aren't exactly people like this that obamacare is supposed to help?
I don't understand why she isn't applying/getting obamacare coverage, after all it is supposed to cover preexisting conditions and she would certainly qualify for subsidy.... /??

That seems a very nice thing to do, but the girl may privately wonder, does he expect anything else from me for accepting this ‘free’ gift? The Restaurant owner may not have fully thought about it himself, but wants to rescue a young damsel in distress.

Never mind the ObamaCare angle....this is an act of amazing kindness.

Leftie media headline - Business owner closes business to keep from providing healthcare insurance for workers with brain tumors.

It looks like a father-daughter relationship to me.

Sometimes you have to act without considering the consequences.

She didn’t look very hard. There are plenty of doctors who and hospitals who would do it for free.

Some believe that every act of kindness has an ulterior motive.

I have discovered (late in life) that nothing, nothing is really free. Every bestowment comes with some kind of strings attatched or some expected action of the taker, in time, in attentiveness, in obedience, in unquestioned loyalty, something. Maybe even something benign, like a big, unmistakable show of gratitude from the receiver. Nothing wicked about it at all, but some people need a big dose of praise once in a while, and jump onto an opportunity to earn it.
