I think he would have had a COBRA type thing through his employer.

And if he'd been in a union he wouldnt have been abruptly laid off either.

He would not have needed healthcare if Obama's union thugs hadn't beat him up.

Oh, that dollar will go along way paying for even a visit to the ER for a hang nail.

If you ever got hurt, I would gladly throw in to help you out. Even if it was just a dollar. That's what we Americans do. We help each other.
You keep believing that.
I keep hearing way too many people say, "Get off your lazy ***** and get your own health insurance!! I don't believe in hand outs!!"

I don't mind helping people out but you need to be deserving of it. He is not one of those people.

[quote=PurpleLove08;10210075]I LOVE IT!!He sits there protesting against health care reform that can help millions of Americans and now he is laid off without a job!!QUOTE]

Another uninformed Democrat. The man was not there protesting anything, he was selling items so his family could eat..!
I'm glad to see him suing the WH thugs the scared demos hired to hurt him, or anyone else that gets in their way...
Tricks right out of Chicago... Obama learned from the best.... If someone gets in your way, stomp on them... Then his followers will express how happy they are thay someone was injured.. Thug mentality....

The Washington Monthly



I'm normally not the type to find happiness in another's misery but he deserves it!![/QUOTE]

It's disturbing to me how you find pleasure in another person's suffering. Beating someone, regardless of their color, political affiliation, employment or insurance status is just plain wrong. And the last time I checked, the First Ammendment was still a Constitutional right for EVERY American citizen. Your attitude just reinforces the mean-spirited and double-standard type tactics of the liberal left. If the guy had a job and was supportive of this particular health care bill and was beaten, then you would feel outrage? Friggin amazing.
How much will you be contributing to this man's medical bills?
