Better dead than red?
After Bill Elliott's $150/mo. plan was cancelled as a result of the ACA, he found himself unable to burden his family with his new $1500.00/mo. premium costs. He is choosing to pay the fine and "let nature take it's course".
And yet....he voted for Obama. So you could say Mr. Elliot helped bring this tragedy upon himself, as did many, if not most, of those who've had their insurance coverage taken away from them. It's just that in his case, the cost is functionally terminal. It kind of leaves me torn; do we pity this man for what Barack Obama has done to him - not just condemning him to death, but swindling him into voting for same? Or do we dismiss him as a damn fool in falling for the same swindle twice?
Well, you know what they say about "nature, red of tooth and claw". But the fact the Mr. Elliot has chosen to sacrifice himself to try and save his family from financial ruin says a great deal about his character and the brutality of Barack Obama for forcing such horrific choices upon a growing number of Americans, no matter how numbskulled their voting booth reasoning, or lack thereof.
