I didn’t realize the gravity of their situation until I read the article.
Murray Hill. Nice neighborhood.
Kids, how sad. I hope there was insurance.
And yes, after two years insurance does pay on suicide unless there is a particular exclusion.
If not for Obamacare they might have been able to buy a slimmed-down policy that at least covered mental health care......
AOL is spinning the hell out of this.
CBS is a bit more rational...

This was Posted here a week ago.
The Couple had Financial issues, they didn’t commit Suicide simply because of their Health issues and expensive Health Insurance.
We are paying $2,000 a Month for our Healthcare Premiums and I have Leukemia. I think I’ll jump off the Roof, NOT.
Just another story to make the mean Republicans look bad. Obama and the Democrats are to blame but it slides off them like they were covered in Teflon.
I will concede that they had mental health issues. Screaming suggests that it may have been an assisted suicide for one of them.
>>”We both have medical issues,” his note continued. “We just can’t afford the health care.”
“Our kids are upstairs, please take care of them,” the woman’s note added.
The identities of both victims were not immediately released.

They lived in the NYC (Manhattan) Financial District. Their kids went to a school that cost $30,000 a year.
I pay my own health care and have a really good one from a major companythat costs $2K a month. Not cheap but not worth jumping off a bldg.
All they had to do was MOVE. Especially from that armpit of the USA.
But I thought ACA was stopping this?
I don’t get why liberals are so upset with this. They usually like death. They can consider the two deaths either late, late term abortions or early death panels.
Well according to other reports they were also heavily in debt on other things.
I thought Barry-care was supposed to bring dope and change to all da peeps.
Socialism sucks for the middle class, doesn’t it.
Another web page said they did not mention health care insurance in their suicide note. They were in debt up to their eyeballs for other things, and this was the reason for taking a flying leap.
Perhaps they did the world a very, very big favor.
They were literally insane, for one.
Hope the children sue Obama .... if the high rent district people can’t afford healthcare then they should sue the perp!
So, how were they connected the the Clintons, Obama or the DNC?
If they voted for Obama, they got what they voted for.
Why the hell would you kill yourself because you think you can’t afford health insurance?
This makes no sense. You don’t need health insurance in America to get health care.
