Cancer Patient Who Was Suing Over O'care Insurance Delay Mix-up Dies From Brain Tumor

A truly sad story. I fear there will be more of these stories.
Quote:A grandmother with an aggressive brain tumor has died after waiting more than two months for insurance coverage because of mixups with Nevada’s health care exchange.
The family of Linda Rolain, 64, who passed away on Monday, had joined two lawsuits against the State of Nevada and the company that built its troubled online software, Xerox, since April.
‘I came in, held her hand,’ her devastated husband of 45 years, Robert, told KTNV. ‘I whispered in her ear “I love you, I’m gonna be fine”. She knew she was gonna die. She really knew it.’
The state launched the Silver State Exchange in October in response to President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act – but it was fraught with problems and Xerox was finally dropped in May.

Guess the IPAB thought her outcome did not conform to the expected ratio of cost vs. usefulness to society. Try suing or arguing with the gov't on that.

look on the bright side. one less smelly damn sick person crapping up the risk pool, the inconsiderate b!tch. after all, let's keep this in perspective; the survival of the law is much more important than the survival of the people that the law was intended to serve.

Mean while, on the border, illegals are throwing their germ infested kids over the border and they now get free healthcare.

Yup, and you get to help pay for it.
