What am I missing here? The guy’s wife makes over $170K a year and he can’t afford to see a doctor? BS.
I don’t like obamacare as much as anybody, but really, the guy said he didn’t want he test. It’s on him.
“What am I missing here?”
Not enough info to answer the question, but here’s a guess:
If you made that much would you choose to live in a trailer, or would you perhaps live in an area the fit your income? I think most fit their income. This would include cars and other personal property as well as kids, etc.. I don’t know if their kids are in college (or even if they have any) but that’s not an expense to ignore.
So your living your life to the tune of your expenses and along comes commie-care. Previously, let’s say your insurance is 1000 a month and $300 dollar deductible, for you, your wife, and two kids.
Now, your premium is 3000 a month and the deductible is 5000. If your income doesn’t match that increase, which is effectively like purchasing 4 cars, you might be a bit hesitant to shell out a grand for a barrage of cardiac tests.
It’s worse than that. The Lummis’ are worth millions.
Google her for more info.
The mister, Alvin Wiederspahn, was a banking exec.
Sheer stupidity to have her say anything.
“In 2007-2008, Rep. Lummis’ financial disclosure forms reported a net worth between $20 million and $75 million, landing her spot No. 15 on RollCall.com’s list of the 50 wealthiest members in both houses of Congress”.

My dad recently went to the hospital for chest pains. Spent one night and had a stress test done. Turns out it was acid reflux. The bill? $40,000.
