I would love for every person to have access to affordable or free healthcare when they need it. This guy didn't want that and now he is finding out first hand what that world is like.
As I said, I think he should get the help he needs and I hope he does, but I don't think it is a bad thing for people to point out to him that he brought this shit on himself and maybe he should look in the mirror before blaming others.

yeah, i disagree with looking at someone getting a chronic disease as an opportunity to lambast them with ridicule couched as his missed chance for self-introspection. none of us know at all what self-reflection this person has done. maybe even less than we think, maybe a lot more. nevertheless, we would all be better served if this were looked at as an opportunity to fix a glitch in the system.
i get how people want to feel better about themselves by bitchslapping this guy, but really not only does that not help anything, it avoids the real issue- he was denied access to AHA at a time when he needed it.
