Conservative Refused To Sign Up For Obamacare: Now He’s Going Blind And Broke–And Blames Obama (Picture)
A 49-year-old South Carolina conservative who refused to sign up for Obamacare is now going broke and blind, and of course, he blames Obama.
Obamacare was created for people in Luis Lang’s position.
Raw Story reports:
Luis Lang learned in late February that he had suffered a series of mini-strokes that left him with bleeding in his eyes and a partially detached retina caused by diabetes, reported the Charlotte Observer.
The 49-year-old Lang, a self-employed handyman and Republican who works with banks and the federal government to maintain foreclosed properties, has never purchased insurance and always prided himself on paying his own medical bills.
That never posed much of a problem when Lang and his wife – who does not work – were healthy, but he has already exhausted his savings paying for medical bills related to his eyes.
The Langs’ $300,000 home in Fort Hill is now at risk due to the burden of medical bills.
“He will lose his eyesight if he doesn’t get care — he will go blind,” said Dr. Malcolm Edwards, an ophthalmologist who examined Lang, according to the Charlotte Observer.
“(My husband) should be at the front of the line because he doesn’t work and because he has medical issues,” Mary Lang said. “We call it the Not Fair Health Care Act.”
