Will Sheehan claims that when he tried to sign up for Obamacare and then register to opt out, he received an ominous warning. Sheehan’s full Facebook post reads;
“I actually made it through this morning at 8:00 A.M. I have a preexisting condition (Type 1 Diabetes) and my income base was 45K-55K annually I chose tier 2 “Silver Plan” and my monthly premiums came out to $597.00 with $13,988 yearly deductible!!! There is NO POSSIBLE way that I can afford this so I “opt-out” and chose to continue along with no insurance.
I received an email tonight at 5:00 P.M. informing me that my fine would be $4,037 and could be attached to my yearly income tax return. Then you make it to the “REPERCUSSIONS PORTION” for “non-payment” of yearly fine. First, your drivers license will be suspended until paid, and if you go 24 consecutive months with “Non-Payment” and you happen to be a home owner, you will have a federal tax lien placed on your home. You can agree to give your bank information so that they can easy “Automatically withdraw” your “penalties” weekly, bi-weekly or monthly! This by no means is “Free” or even “Affordable.”
Let's take Will Sheehan as an example.
Note in the last sentence from Mr. Sheehan, he expects "Free" health care.
Note that Mr. Sheehan was presented with a $600/month premium and a $14,000 deductible.
Note that insulin has a retail cost with prescription but no insurance, of anywhere from $300 to $1200 a month, depending on if it's a fancy fast-acting analog, or old fashioned insulin, and depending on how much you consume. Then there is additional costs such as syringes or insulin pumps, blood sugar testers, regular checkups with your diabetic specialist doctor... and then there's the rest of your medical needs that everyone else has.
Mr. Sheehan was basically told... "If you essentially pay for your fee-sucking diabetic condition yourself by means of high premiums and deductibles, we will provide you with health insurance, and that will end up covering just about anything else going on above and beyond basic diabetes maintenance. But you're a guaranteed net loss to us at anything less than a medical expense contribution of about $21,000 a year."
This isn't a temporary hand-up from government we're talking about.
It's lifetime dependency, making all the welfare programs pale in comparison. Putting Mr. Sheehan on a "free" health care plan would result in you and me paying $20,000 a year for the rest of his life.
Where do you stand?
Does Mr. Sheehan merit such relief from the taxpayers of the US?
Is Mr. Sheehan entitled to free knowledge from endocrinologist specialists? Are endocrinologist specialists expected to lower their expected compensation for their skills just because Mr. Sheehan needs it?
How much gratis care should Mr. Sheehan expect from the society we have in place? How much can society expect Mr. Sheehan ought to pay when he makes about $50k a year? What level of care should Mr. Sheehan merit when he is asking for gratis care from society? Should he receive the expensive $150/bottle fast acting insulin analog and auto-dispensing insulin pump, and enough insulin to allow him to drink in bars with his buddies? Or should he get syringes and old fashioned slow acting insulin at $25/bottle, and only enough to balance him out on a healthy diet as prescribed by his doctor?
