It's not affordable because he's broke and unemployed.
He quit his job. Maybe he should've thought about that before he quit. I wouldn't quit my job and lose my insurance.
He thought he'd be a congressman...He struck out. That's just too damn bad.
Seriously? Do you know this man's life circumstances enough to judge him for quitting the job? I doubt it. Nice way to show how judgemental you choose to be without the facts. Rock on with your humanity.

Fortunately we have Medicaid and Obamacare for people like Sheriff Mack and his wife to pick up the pieces so they aren't left destitute.
I don't agree that it is begging. I don't see a call for humanity in a dire situation as begging. Maybe that's just me or maybe you have no compassion.
Compassion? This guy is now begging for it. But didn't understand the meaning of it previously.

Not necessarily. If Sherriff Mack owns a home he will not be eligible for Medicaid. If he has not secured another job, he cannot the premium for an Obamacare plan.

Your wrong on both counts. A homeowner can be on Medicaid. Millions have and million more will be. You can also get on Obummercare by reporting your income as above $16,000. The government doesn't know what you made you just report that figure. The Republican states left that gap forcing people to report a higher income than they actually have so they wouldn't be eligible for Medicaid. Sheriff Mack is on Medicaid or Obummercare....you can bet your bottom dollar. And as a life long taxpayer doesn't he deserve to be on the dole? Wouldn't you agree?

Can he even sign up for it now? Has to wait until next open enrollment doesn't he? Or did he do it before the deadline (that does vary in some states I think)?

Doesn't that imply that everyone should be eligible for the dole should they run into hard times? Without all the sneering and finger pointing that seems to go on?

He quit his job WITH health insurance in order to run for congress. That's a gamble at any age, but a huge gamble in your 60's.
He's a big government guy that rails against government....Now he needs government.
If he hadn't been on that anti Obamacare spiel, I might have some sympathy. But I don't.

He was in the hospital in January and his wife had health problems before then. They are both either on Medicaid or Obamacare now . The bills are the ones that stacked up before the open enrollment or before Mack could get signed up. Mack is probably as good as an example as there is for why the ACA premiums are high. He probably had a triple-bypass which is conservatively between $40,000- and $80,000. He never paid in but thanks to an open enrollment period he signs up and gets the surgery done and everyone else pays for it. This will be hard for some people to get their heads around.
Shouldn't he as a lifelong taxpayer be able to sign up for Obummercare during the open enrollment period or Medicaid seeing that he has no income? There is no reason liberals should be the only ones to have access to healthcare. Obummercare and Medicaid is compassion for people who need help.
Sorry, that's not how it works. If he owns things of value, he does not qualify.
