    A man by the name of Bill Elliot says that he is a cancer patient whose insurance policy got cancelled thanks to Obamacare. Now he says he can't afford insurance under Obama's new policy, so he will just let nature take its course.

    I think he should run for Congress where they get the best health care in the world. His slogan should be, "Help us fight cancer in our bodies and in our government by voting for me!!"

    Well I hope he brought his W2 form to the thanksgiving dinner table, per Barack Obama's suggestion.

    I just read that the IRS is now coming after Bill going back all the way to 2003 after he went on Fox news to complain about his plight..

    Coincidence?

    Where do we run to now? Where can we find justice in such a corrupt government?

    We even have Obama admitting to having the IRS abuse its power, but they continue. It's almost as if Obama admits to it in order to send a message to conservatives which is, if you cross me, I'll kill ya!!

    Sounds like BS and obviously not the full story.


    Megyn Kelly’s Phony ObamaCare Victim Doesn’t Need To Die
    Posted by Ellen -817.80pc on November 08, 2013 · Flag

    Last night, Megyn Kelly interviewed Bill Elliott, a cancer patient who actually announced on the air that he planned to let himself die rather than burden his family with the medical bills he thinks ObamaCare is going to cause. But, apparently, Elliott is another in a long line of ObamaCare "victims" that Fox never bothered to investigate whether they needed to suffer the way they say. Fortunately for truth lovers, and possibly Mr. Elliott, Tommy Christopher, at Mediaite, did the work that The Kelly File should have. And the news is good for Elliott.

    Kelly seemed to have done absolutely no research into Elliott’s case beyond reading a post he left on The Kelly File’s Facebook page. She began the interview by asking Elliott why he thought Obamacare is the cause of his current insurance being canceled, right in the middle of his cancer treatment. As if it never occurred to her to do any digging of her own to verify.

    As it turns out, Elliott seemed to be under many misapprehensions about his options. None of which Kelly investigated, much less reported.

    But Christopher did. Among other dubious findings, he wrote:

    (Elliott) reveals that his old plan cost him about $170, and the one his “insurance guy” offered would cost him $1500 a month, with a $13,500 deductible. However, the most expensive Obamacare plan offered to individuals over 50 on the exchange for South Carolina is $796.87 a month, for the most expensive Gold plan, and Bronze plans in the state start at $255.35 a month. Kelly didn’t ask him, but Mr. Elliott might qualify for federal subsidies as well. For example, if he makes $26,000 a year, that Bronze plan would be $163.42 /mo., less than what he was paying before.

    He also said “Now with Obamacare, the man that I’ve got looked into it, they are not going to pay for pharmaceuticals or medical devices.”

    But under Obamacare, both of those categories are mandated as essential health benefits. Either Mr. Elliott’s insurance man is giving him a bum steer, or something is being lost in translation. I’ve tried to get in touch with Mr. Elliott, but have thus far been unsuccessful.

    Why didn't Kelly or one of the Kelly File staffers check any of these details? Sadly, one can only conclude it's because Kelly and Fox News only want to know the bad news about ObamaCare and are afraid to spoil their story with any verified information. Even if it might save a life.

    How long before this BS story is debunked? The standard 2-3 days? Or less?

    Edit: Good job, jkotan.

    The man was trying to keep his doctor and insurance plan. The simple fact is that he was denied this.

    Does a simply left winged article debunk the story? Nope. At least you did not attempt to debunk the fact that the IRS is now hunting him down.

    Why is it people never try to debunk all the lies Obama spews?

    For the sake of argument, let's put on the tin foil hat and say that there is a conspiracy to lie here. Does that give the IRS the right to punish him?
