This is the problem:
This guy wanted to spend his wealth on something other than healthcare insurance. This guy rejects the idea of universal healthcare for reason of a large tax increase.
He says he can pay his own medical bills until he becomes seriously sick and finds out he will need to liquidate to pay his medical costs. He now relies on the general population to pay his costs like a welfare client would.
I don't want to bash the guy for his health predicament -- even if he contributed to its causes but I will bash his philosophy of thinking that: ''If I can't afford it, the same government programs that I belittled will have to pay for it'' -- why?
Disclaimer: I paid over $12K for health insurance and related healthcare expenses last year (2014). If this guy could afford to live in a $300K home he could afford health insurance. He chose not to pay the medical insurance cost and gambled his health -- and he lost. Even when offered the chance to become insured with a preexisting medcial condition this guy decided where his money should be best spent.
Charities will give you a white cane and a seeing eye dog -- hard cash will buy surgeries or medical treatment to save your sight.
