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.... /??

Once again, someone has to go out of his way to prove this world contains better men than me.

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.

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

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

Oh, my goodness, Montgomery is about 10 miles west of me. There is a big, divided highway all the way there and a number of upper class subdivisions around that side of the lake and that big highway is our main thoroughfare through that area. Down that highway and come to the middle of the town of Montgomery.

Wonder why she can’t sign up for Medicaid and have the operation?

He must be a conservative. A liberal would sell someone else's business.

Most hospitals have a charity discount program. As a 19 year old waitress, I’d think that she would qualify.

“UK Mirror” making the case for just how great it is not to have this sort of problem under Britain’s governmental care.

Our system if totally ——— up right now. Comparing anything is problematic. I’ll bet we could find some real horror stories from Great Britain’s system too, and it’s been up and running for quite some time.

As someone else mentioned, Obamacare was sold on the idea there would be no medical qualifications. Register the girl and let her get care.

Snip
De Beyer admits that he has tried selling his restaurant over the years.

Most recently, it’s been on the market since last summer but brittany’s
new medical emergency means he’ll slash the price and try to sell it faster.

“The new thing about it, I would receive a lot less money,” said De Beyer.
“So she gets medical, gets taken care of.”

Barbara said both she and her daughter are signing up for Affordable Care.

Brittany doesn’t know if her tumor is cancerous yet.

What a great guy! I suggest he try hosting a fund raiser party at his restaurant before selling it though. That happens in my town all the time. Turnout is always good.

She should claim to be an illegal alien and get it done for free

Because she'll either DIE waiting for treatment under Obamacare, or she'll get a butcher for a doctor who'll end up killing her on the table, because that's the only kind of doctor who'll accept Obamacare.

I don’t know all of the details, but I would think this girl and her family would qualify for medicaid. I don’t understand why they have not applied or tried to seek some type of welfare for health care...

Now that’s a great idea, with subsidies it would only cost her $450.00/month but she would be responsible for the first $25,000.00 if the death panel permits the surgery and she can find a hospital within a 600 mile radius.
