this is where i am coming from, from the article kane posted:
A staffer with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services emailed the Observer to say Lang?s case had been ?discussed here in DC at a fairly high level? in hopes of finding a solution. If the family income were to rise above the poverty level ($15,730 for a couple), he could qualify for special enrollment, the staffer said.
For Lang?s doctor, the overwhelming feeling is frustration at knowing that one of his patients could lose his sight for lack of a way to pay for care that?s readily available in modern American society.
?That?s probably the worst thing that can happen to someone outside of death,? Edwards said. And he added that if Lang doesn?t get help now, he?s likely to end up dependent on the government: ?It?s extremely costly to let a person go blind.?
Edwards says it?s not uncommon to see patients who don?t take the treatment regimen seriously until they?re facing major problems.
