He could not because he had a preexisting condition. After he became an adult and dropped from his parents health insurance policy, no insurance company would insure him and he died as a result. It is all in the link I provided.
He could have purchased insurance, but at a higher cost. There is ALWAYS insurance available, but risk comes into play, therefore, premiums are higher.
For instance.....when you have a history of auto accidents, your rates are much higher that one who has a clean record.
You and your caring friends could have, and should have chipped in and helped him buy insurance.
In a civilized country no one should be put in a position where healthcare becomes a question of someone not being able to afford healthcare. Healthcare should be available to everyone,
Who Pays for it? every one pays for it, who benefits? every one benefits.
In a civilized country, we wouldn't be killing millions of unborn.
Not one leftie responded to my truthful statement about what Ron Paul was asked.
He was diractly asked "If a young man had the opportunity to purchase insurance, but refused to, and then had a serious accident, should he be allowed to die?" Ron Paul answered as I would have...."It's nobody elses responsibility to pay for his poor decision."
So no.....I personally wouldn't want to let him die, but HE made the decision before that to let himself die.
Once we get past feeling sorry for those who made poor decisions, the sooner we'll be back on track as a nation.

Place blame where it belongs.....
That's it in a nutshell...The I'm ok, screw the rest attitude of so many in the US that I find so selfish and deplorable....News flash for you...Everybody makes many bad decisions over their lifetime, haven't you?
The link to the Weiser story did not actually provide enough details to determine whether or not he could have obtained health insurance
One thing that might have come into play....and it's impossible to know from the links...is whether or not he could have obtained a policy within the allowances of the "credible coverage' clause.
Tear-jerker stories seldom provide details

This is why the right is losing voters. This kind of "solution" is unworkable by the vast number of Americans who are in the same situation. They just cannot fathom why some can't simply go out and "buy insurance". THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT. What is so hard for the righties to understand about that? Our society created this mess so it's up to everyone to fix it and help pay for situations like this.
