Republican thanks Obama for saving his life

[BlueGin]

Touching really, how bad it was for some before Obamacare

‘Thank you for serving me when I didn’t vote for you’: A Republican writes the president after Obamacare saved his life

To My President,

I sincerely hope that this reaches you, as far too often praise is hard to come by. Apologies to people who deserve it perhaps even less so.

I did not vote for you. Either time. I have voted Republican for the entirety of my life.

I proudly wore pins and planted banners displaying my Republican loyalty. I was very vocal in my opposition to you–particularly the ACA.

Before I briefly explain my story allow me to first say this: I am so very sorry. I understand written content cannot convey emotions very well–but my level of conviction has me in tears as I write this. I was so very wrong. So very very wrong.

You saved my life. I want that to sink into your ears and mind. My President, you saved my life, and I am eternally grateful.

I have a ‘pre-existing condition’ and so could never purchase health insurance. Only after the ACA came into being could I be covered. Put simply to not take up too much of your time if you are in fact taking the time to read this: I would not be alive without access to care I received due to your law.

So thank you from a dumb young man who thought he knew it all and who said things about you that he now regrets. Thank you for serving me even when I didn’t vote for you.

Thank you for being my President.

Honored to have lived under your leadership and guidance,

Brent Nathan Brown

He and his "surprise" multi thousand dollar medical claims are one of the reasons the exchanges are going under.

Yes... Thank you Obama for your short sighted Hackery.

Of course the liberals buy it, hook, line and sinker. If he waiting until his symptoms manifested themselves to go looking for insurance then there's the problem. Even so, he could probably get insurance, maybe not for the price he wanted though. Drugs are made more expensive due to litigation and the FDA regulation, trial time periods, etc. So cry over the letter if it tugs on your heart strings while ignoring all those who lost their insurance due to obamacare if it makes you feeeel good.

So you don't understand what "preexisting condition" means.

I could be an atheist for all you know. I have no use for religion and being a Christian doesn't mean your ready to spend your money on someone else.

Catch a clue dumbass.

It does mean that you're ready to "love your neighbor as yourself." You, it seems, would define that as slamming the door in his face. Others might think differently.

Besides, for all the caterwauling about the PPACA, not one of you has actually "spent your money on someone else" via the new regulations, though any of you who've relied on the services of a hospital have in fact paid more because of the EMTALA, you just didn't know it.

You bet your ass. If I had that choice. I'm not interested in paying "for my neighbor." If you are then good for you. Whip out your wallet, checkbook and debit card an pay away.

But you were okay with paying through the EMTALA, you just didn't realize you were paying, or you're just going to ignore my second paragraph?

The right wing nitwit (Claudette) probably "thinks" that the EMTALA is a sandwich spread.....

Nope. I'm not okay with taking responsibility for anyone's bills but my own.

Of course EMTALA is something we are forced to do and pay for. Doesn't mean I have to like it. And yes I knew it.

Nope. I know what it is but I wonder if your sorry ass does.

Well, wonder no more....It may be quite a strain on those remaining brain cells of yours.

You don't understand words and you prove it daily.

Speaking of brain cells?? You must have to strain the hell out of yours to come up with the bullshit you post.

Idiot.

Hey, asshole. You don't have the right to other people's money. If people don't want socialism you can define it as slamming the door in their face, which I would literally do if your dumb ass ever knocked on it, but it just proves how lost you are. Everyone paying more due to obamacare is sharing their resources. So you're a liar as well.

So if it turns out that the PPACA actually saved you $, would you still be as angry, or is your anger proportional to the amount you feel you're paying to help others get life-saving treatment?

When you're finished arguing with your body parts, perhaps you can respond to my post. Or are you just talking to your asshole because it knows you don't know what a preexisting condition is?

Oh it won't save me any money.

The cost of my benefits has gone up by 60% in the last two years.

It won't save anyone who's a taxpayer anything. The only winners are those the rest of us will be forced to subsidize.

Paying for HC is easy when you use someone else's money.

How about if government got their greedy meat hooks off our pocketbooks and let the hospitals, doctors and us work it out. With tort reform we can make it more affordable for all. You still don't want to pay, that should be your right and no one should be obligated to care for you. If you had a backbone it wouldn't need to be explained.

Your bullshit isn't working, Slick. You make accusations to many people all the time. You're just a fucking troll. Probably with a government job too.

And your premiums never went up before this? Extraordinary.
