instead of pouncing on this guy, why not embrace the fact that regardless of creed, fucking aha should be accessible to even people that dislike obama. i mean really, i simply completely and wholeheartedly disagree with making the focus of this about the guy's political beliefs. madalton hit the nail on the head, regardless of this guy's political beliefs and mistakes taking responsibility for his medical condition, which by the way would in no way at all have guaranteed his not going blind, he should not be denied access to civilized affordable healthcare and he's certainly deserves access. this is 2015, not 1520. |

you're going to have to step your debating skills up now that you think you can play at this level. no offense, just trying to help you so these little tangents you like to claim you don't go off on will be more fun and challenging for me. :) |

Tangential comments regarding your posts are off limits here? I didn't exclaim the you don't let others have their opinions. I asked you a question. |

The government denied him Obamacare because he willfully missed the deadline. When one signs up for Obamacare, the application does not ask about personal beliefs. Quote:

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. |
The wife even said that her husband should be in the "front of the line" to get Obamacare. She calls it the "Not Fair Health Care Act".
Are you freaking kidding me? He should be in the front of the line for a program that he hated, argued against, and did not even bother to sign up for when he had the chance? Yea right, its ABSOLUTELY FAIR. He wilfully missed the deadline. So he can signup whwn enrollment opens again in Oct 15. These aren't secret deadlines. Its all 100% FAIR. |

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. |

• ObamaCare’s goal is to give more Americans access to affordable, quality health insurance and to reduce the growth in U.S. health care spending. • The Affordable Care Act expands the affordability, quality, and availability of private and public health insurance through consumer protections, regulations, subsidies, taxes, insurance exchanges, and other reforms. ObamaCare Facts: Facts on the Affordable Care Act since the goal is to give more Americans access, and this guy was denied access, it seems to me that in order to achieve the goal, we would want to focus on fixing the lack of access for people like this guy, not pointing finger at him. |

What "glitch"? The enrollment period dates were announced long ago. Quote:

Insurance issues aside, I think the guy is a douche for not using any of the equity in his house to cover his own mistakes before he starts pointing blame and publicly begging.
But that's based on my own beliefs ….. . |

so that means i get your lack of ability to realize that no one should be denied access the affordable healthcare, especially in a time of serious need. again, i get you don't care about this guy missing his chance. again, i get that you do not care about this guy missing his chance at affordable health care coverage of his medical bills, on account of, you know, the enrollment dates were public info. that's your logic and you're entitled to it, don't expect sell me on it. |

I did a quick search and found this SC man will get sight-saving surgery as liberal donors chip in | The Charlotte Observer The Charlotte Observer It is a story done about him since this all went viral. In it he still blames the government , but he acknowledges it is the state as well as the feds that failed him. He also says he has learned some things including that he should have taken better care of himself and he should have gotten health insurance when he could. So maybe all of this has helped him have some of that introspection. He will get the surgery he needs and he might just change his mind about a few things. No harm in that. |
if anyone is confused, i get that tclgirls thinks this guy does not deserve to have eyesight on account of this guy not agreeing with the law and missing the enrollment window.

The fact is he denied himself affordable healthcare. |

Quote:
exactly. there is no harm in any of that. that's where i've been coming from. he was diagnosed with a chronic disease, reacted to it in textbook fashion- following the 5 stages of accepting a chronic disease, including denial and ultimately acceptance. none of the mean-spirited comments had anything to do with that. |
Quote:
he ultimately realized he wanted/needed affordable healthcare. obamacare would have given him the medical coverage to pay for repairing his eyes, which he could not afford, ergo, he would not be able to get the procedures to keep his eyesight without obamacare-> you don't care if he goes blind. you really shouldn't back down from your positions. i mean really, embrace the fact that you think "fuck this guy, he deserves what he gets or doesn't get." you're trying to come across as serious here, so seriously you should know that no obamacare for this guy meant no medical attention to stop him from going blind. you've beat around the bush about that for quite a few posts. |

Losing eyesight due to diabetes takes years. It wasn't like he was diagnosed with diabetes just this past December. How long does it take someone to go through the 5 stages of accepting a diabetes diagnosis? When a doctor says that diabetes is causing one to lose his/her eyesight, how long should it take to accept that fact? |
Quote:
He knew he had diabetes and not only did he not quit smoking he also DECIDED to not get health insurance. The minute he found out he had diabetes he should have taken whatever steps necessary to protect himself and his family. He should have jumped for joy Obama care existed and covered his pre-existing condition. Hate Obama all you want but if you're drowning and he throws you a life-preserver take it! Yes, Dyna Mo he should have insurance, technically he broke the law not having insurance. But what's next, his wife begging for money when he dies and leaves her with no way to live and keep their house because he doesn't have life insurance either? . |

Once he admits that he is in favor of Obamacare, and stops blaming Obama for his own mistakes, then I will say he deserves Obamacare. |

on top of putting your own timeline on someone's handling their receiving a chronic disease diagnosis. |

again, you truly have no idea what you are going on about and who you are going on about with re: diabetes and especially retinopathy. |

From what i've read in other stories he admits to never having and not believing in insurance, but now he's begging and everyone else is at fault. ….. I'm leaving this thread with a photo of him taken for this story and the fucker has a pack of Marlboro Menthol's in his pocket. Really?
edit: I do wonder if this guy drove a Prius with an "Obama" sticker on it and said he just forgot to enroll if the majority of the posts would have a different slant? Are most of the opinions purely political? People getting back at a conservative? Worth thinking about. (But the fucker still has a pack of cigs in his pocket) http://i.imgur.com/PACC5Xe.jpg . |
Quote:
it very well may be that enrollment should happen year round, the fact is this guy was denied access when he needed it and that should be a concern for anyone. perhaps better marketing, perhaps expanding the window, either way, i think it's important to look at how a system designed to allow more people access can allow more people access. |
