After Bill Elliott's $150/mo plan was canceled as a result of the ACA, he found himself unable to burden his family with his new $1500.00/mo premium costs. He is choosing to pay the fine and "let nature take it's course".

I have been telling people for 5 years, be careful what you wish for.

Wasn't that one of the anticipated outcomes of "free healthcare" ?

Hate to say it, but when I am canceled, and it's coming I'm sure... I will do the same. No coverage is better than giving my life to Obama. Maybe I need an attitude adjustment but for now, I will not go willingly and will die willingly if it comes to that.

You are correct. I was just kinda subtly implying that. Thanks,

I remember a speech Obama gave when he was campaigning -and I’ve looked long and hard for the video and can’t find it- where he specifically said ‘families were going to have to make difficult choices about grandma’s care......maybe instead of that surgery she should take a pill”. I froze when I heard him say that and it sent a chill up my spine because there was no mistaking what he was really saying.

Here’s the thing that infuriates me; My son is a T-1 diabetic. We’ve encouraged him to develop skills that he can use as his disease progresses so that he can keep working - even from a wheelchair.

With Obamacare, it’s better for him to let himself go, claim disability, and sit it out. To become another taker.

As this policy progresses, more and more people are going to quit. This punishes the people who actually fight to remain productive.

He didn't say pill.

He said pain killer

I think this is O'Dummy's objective, viz. to hastily shuffle people off into the next life.

This is what we pro-lifers have been saying re the murder of the unborn. It's a micro small step from killing a child to killing a adult. It's all a part of the same demonic plan.

To the guy in the article, you got what you voted for. It's just too bad that many decent conservatives will also suffer a similar fate.

It was when a Woman was asking Obama about her 90 something year old Mother who might need a Pacemaker. She was basically begging the King to spare her Mother’s life.

Obama blathered on about choices and suggested it might be better for some people to take a pill.

Rush talks about it all the time.

I feel sorry for the guy even though he fell for Obama’s lies. I’m glad he is speaking out, though the diehards will simply shrug their shoulders and say the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

I take no joy in this.

I understand people should take responsibility for their decisions, but I place more of my disgust on the hard-core liberals (may they rot in Hell) for taking advantage of the stupidity, gullibility, and incuriousity of their constituency.

This just makes me angry.

I feel the same way. They WILL say that, but...the day will come when they are one of the few.

Boy, this whole goat rodeo just pisses me off.

I’m sure this missive is going to generate a lot of hate mail, but at my age I don’t really care.

As I watch more and more people who are experiencing a health care crisis in their lives and whose insurance, up to this point, was letting them combat their disease. They are finding it impossible to do so, such as the gentleman who’s the subject of this thread. He’s made the difficult decision not to pursue treatment of his condition and bankrupt his family.

I seem to recall that the Nazis in Germany in prior to the start of WWII and up to the very last of WWII, ridding themselves of those them deem inferior, or unworthy. Now if you look about you and see that the liberals/democrats are in love with abortion (hereinafter referred to as infanticide) and with the gutting of Medicare and denying required medical service to the elderly or chronically ill, to me the democrats are the party of death. Unless, you’re a convicted murdered, rapist, pedopile, etc.

Yep, and I would probably make the same decision if I were in his shoes.

With that said, he was a fool to believe Obama, but I imagine that he was feeling pretty desperate at the time.

Obama lover who thinks ANOTHER FAMILY should pay for it.
Typical.

My advice, have him go find an Ice Flow and head out to Sea. It works for the Eskimos. He had better get to it before Global Warming kicks in.

Thank you....it wasn't the same venue I originally saw because he was standing, sleeves rolled up and used the word 'difficult' when talking about decisions and said 'pill' rather than painkiller. Plus, it was before he was elected. This link, while saying essentially the same thing, shows he actually 'cleaned it up' a bit to make it more palatable; especially when washed down with a tall glass of kool-aid.
