Usually government employees have some pretty good health plans (including Congress-critters, who never fail to give themselves raises, vacations and the best health plans available).

The link said he and his wife were both sick, so maybe this is just about his wife. Even if it were him, some towns are too small to offer very good retirement pensions.

He was a sheriff a long time ago....and not re-elected...
So, basically all we have are a couple funding sites...yet no real reason why they don't have insurance...
Maybe it was to expensive...
cause by now, everyone was supposed to be covered, right....
Nailed it. I wonder how that catastrophic insurance would have taken care of him....before he was told it "wasn't good enough" for just these types of situations.
Many of these GOP governors were also concerned with how this Medicaid expansion was going to be paid for.
Also, the Supreme Court said they had a right to refuse.
Worried about what? The 3% of the total bill they were going to have to pony up? or the huge cost to the state to keep their ER rooms open with all the people who have no health insurance and get sick now that they refuse to accept the expansion.
Also, when did a republican governor worry about the rank and file citizen. First thing they do when they get in office is cut taxes for the rich and corporations and then slash funding for social safety nets and education. After lunch, they work hard on breaking middle class worker's unions to take away more money from the middle class.
I'm sure the IRS will fine him for not having health care insurance, so you will have your revenge on him for daring to oppose ObamaCare.
Something tells me that publically, he claims that he's not eligible for Medicaid because he makes too much but when tax time comes he'll show his income is so low he only pays the 95.00 minimum.

Well it would appear the residents of those states were very concerned about the alleged 3%, and elected governors who wouldn't take participate. Perhaps they weren't convinced it was really going to be 3%, given the previous record of proclamations by BO and his fellow Democrats who brought this to us. You know, like If you like your current plan, you can keep it?
BO's signature legislation rendered the policy I liked and was promised I could keep illegal.
