He was undoubtedly unaware of the FREE medical care available to him at the world-class facilities at the UNC Hospital, as IBD pointed out on Tuesday.

Leave it to the lazt media bums at the NYT, Washington Post & other 'alleged' journalistic powerhouses to whiff on disclosing that.

I think this last paragraph in the article sums it up well:

' The United States is the only wealthy country that does not offer comprehensive universal health care to every citizen; in no other rich country would anyone be faced with such a choice.'

Hey,the system isn't broken according to Republicans.
Heartless people. The man actually worked and was a law abiding citizen before he became sick.

If he was an Illegal alien all he would have to do is show up at an ER and the American taxpayers would foot the bill !

ObamaCare prohibits caps in benefits, just one of thousands of asinine rules within its 18,000+ pages of bureaucratic nonsense, with too many financial time bombs to count buried within it.

Any wonder why it's doomed to fail, and why the Democrats are scattering like cockroaches away from it as the 2014 and 2016 elections approach, both of which are bound to be disastrous for those lamebrained lefties?

We will give somebody who steals one dollar free medical coverage, but destitute, law-abiding citizens get nothing.

We need socialized medicine yesterday.

So people who work for a living can die on a waiting list with the bums on welfare?
