Oh, the irony! An anti-reformist zealot who got into an altercation at a St. Louis health care event is now begging his friends on the right for money to help pay his medical bills, since he lost his coverage after he lost his job.
The obvious thought here is painful. Why is this man fighting AGAINST a system that would have guaranteed that he would've had health insurance after he was sacked from his job? Perhaps he was canned for his own stupidity and/or hypocrisy?
Sadly, this is just like how the far right hijacked the American heartland: play to their fears about "big government"/gays/abortion/terrorism and they'll vote against their own interests in a second. It's utterly mind-boggling how these people have been essentially duped into supporting something that does not help them even the slightest bit. People like this guy should feel played, and I pity them.
