Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit highlights the story of his friend Brick Williams, who is missing lifesaving treatments because of Obamacare:
My friend Brick Williams has a genetic immune deficiency disorder that requires a weekly blood transfusion so he has the antibodies that keep him healthy. Without the weekly transfusions he quickly gets sick to life-threatening degrees.
His private insurance was very expensive but was keeping him alive. In September his private insurance carrier notified him that his policy would be cancelled due to Obamacare. He struggled for weeks and weeks to get a policy through the exchange and finally was able to get one after countless hours of effort, much to his relief.
When he went to get his first treatment his pharmacy contacted his new insurance company and was notified that the government had sent the insurance company a letter instructing them to cancel his obamacare policy.
The website Dontletobamacarekillbrick supplies details on Brick's attempt to replace the health insurance that was deep sixed by Obamacare:
I didn't have insurance about 8-9 years ago for a while and so I wasn't receiving infusions. I was on my deathbed within a year. They were literally preparing my wife to be a widow. I was able to get infusions again (without insurance) and it saved my life. I racked up a $25,000 hospital bill in just a few weeks, but I'm still here. Since that time I've been paying for my own insurance through the state of Utah. Paying an ungodly amount to have insurance for the uninsurable. Starting on Oct. 1st (the first day you could start trying to sign up for obamacare) my wife and I started the process of trying to get me insurance.

Apparently he did not have the foresight to be
in the EXEMPT Congress, or on their EXEMPT staff.
Yes, he’ll probably die because of Obamacare but the New York Times won’t care ...
This won’t be a story in the MSM.
As a bonus the eternally creepy Obama Administration will ‘count’ his attempts to buy insurance as proof the American people want Obamacare.
Where’s Kafka?
Yea, but what about those lane closures at the bridge. . .let’s get back to that!
