    Probably staged by the looney left. Only idiots believe anything they read on moveon.org.

    Do you believe it an improbable circumstance. Do you believe it does not happen?

    Hahaha! your a gem.... Even if its a made up senario... I can guarantee you its very plausible and has happened alot already... Why do think a guy robbed a store for 1 dollar so he could go to jail to get some medical procedure covered by the state... i forget where this happened.

    Its well known that you cannot collect medicare or welfare if you are employed at all.. or have any money in a savings account. I see people on welfare all the time in my local dentist office... I have to pay.. they dont.

    This has got to be some politically motivated lie unless a fat drug abusing blowhard tells it huh?

    What does him working his whole life and paying taxes have to do with him not getting treated for cancer? Is this a new concept to him? If so, it proves it does not pay to be ignorant : /

    I dont think it mentions it. Does it matter? The fact that this is a senario that happens everyday in the U.S.. not just for cancer.. for dental.. pregnancy..etc is a fact. The system is set up to do just that. If this guy is mad at his congressman.. his senator.. Offshoring corporations... profit driven healthcare... is he wrong?

    It may happen.

    However the reason the Economy is in the sewer, and remains there......are the DISASTROUS POLICIES of the Monumental Mendacious Fraud, Commie/Socialist, Racist OweBamaCrapster.

    This where you are confused... Obama is hated by REAL socialists and communists... he is a corporate neocon by action... dont let his spiel fool you into thinking he is a socialist. When we re elect him.. or the equivalent Republican offering of Romney or Perry.. it will continue..

    Every major city in the US has a county hospital where indigent people are treated at no cost. There are thousands of private charities who fund cancer treatment for people with no money. I personally receive assistance for medical bills from a private foundation... even though I work and have insurance.

    Not saying there aren't people who are suffering. But I am saying no one in this country goes without treatment if they're seriously ill.

    Unless they're too stupid or lazy to seek other sources of help besides the US Govt.

    Yes he is wrong because he should have gotten private health insurance. I dont understand how someone who has been working for 20 years cant afford it.

    BRUSH YOUR TEETH IF YOU DONT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, DONT EAT CANDY.

    DONT HAVE SEX IF YOU DONT HAVE INSURANCE!

    PROFITS DRIVE THE MOST INNOVATION AND QUALITY, LIVE IN EUROPE IF YOU WANT A (*)(*)(*)(*)TY "FREE" HEALTHCARE

    Why are you saying that? This guy looked and found treatment. Or are you chastising him for being stupid and working as a pizza delivery guy with no insurance?

    Plus.. I would like to see how well you would fair getting handouts from any private organization as a middle aged male.

    Gotta love the logic.. you cant afford your medical treatment so you got a private organization to pay them for you..... but you are against a person getting from a state sponsered organization... my my.. arent we a judgmental recipient of charity

    He says, despite what you think he says, that the system saved his life.

    Then I am part of that insanely huge 1%.

    You are alive.

    You are welcome.

    LOL.... so since he worked for 20 years .. he should be able to afford private health insurance at probably 1 k a month. Since he couldnt.. what would happen if he got hit in the mouth with a rock?.. bite by a dog delivering pizza

    I have news for you.. you can still get cavities or a wisdom tooth or need a rootcanal even if you have stellar dental hygiene... Cancer can strike even if all you eat is wheat germ and soy protien....The dude didnt say he was preganant.. where the hell does .. "dont have sex" come from ? lol

    Europes (*)(*)(*)(*)ty free health care?... lol.. ask any swiss citizen if they would trade thier healthcare system for ours... or a canadien lol... Funny confused rightwing wackjobs.. you believe anything Limbaugh tells you ...

    If we had a universal healthcare system,... think of the tax cut corporate amerca would get... thats like 700 dollars a person.. per month... a freakin windfall... doesnt that whet your twisted croney capitalistic noodle?

    Well the 85% of people who can magically obtain private health insurance dont want to sacrifice the care they get now which deals extremely well in cases of serious illness compared to the rest of the world for the other 15% to be able to get it.

    Call me an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*), but I think if 85% of people can get covered in the private system, its much better to let people who either cannot figure out how to get into the private system or choose not to buy it to deal with things like cancer on their own.

    NO MORE HANDOUTS

    Looks like someone didn't prioritize health insurance while he worked for 20 years making better money. He should have acquired an HDHP plan before finding out he had cancer.

    There is no excuse for people to blow money on cell phones, cable TV, internet, cigarettes, beer, ding dongs, chips, pop, eating out, flat screens, cars worth more than 3k, too much house etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. and not have an emergency fund and retirement savings.

    Healthcare is a comodity like a car or house, you either prioritize it or you accept the concequences. If it were a right, God would have provided it before capitalism did.

    Im pretty sure he could sue the dogs owner. thats what homeowners insurance covers. see, you cant determine the price of his Medical insurance, since you arent a Underwriter, so the 1k a month comment is null...
