Caleb Medley, Uninsured Aurora Shooting Victim, May Face $2 Million In Medical Costs (VIDEO)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/24/caleb-medley-health-insurance_n_1699092.html

the fact that so many of you americans face this kind of thing every single day is backwards, ridiculous and completely idiotic. you really need to let go of your narrow-minded, us-and-them, politically motivated ideologies and support a system that supports you all

I read the tragedy this young man faces..


The family of Caleb Medley has been told that his medical bills could cost up to $2 million if he fully recovers, CBS News reports (h/t ThinkProgress). Medley, who lacks health insurance, is currently in an induced coma after he was shot in the eye during Friday's Colorado tragedy. His wife, Katie, gave birth to their son in the same hospital Tuesday.

but one thing isn't clear, why if he was working for a company that offers health care he didn't have coverage?



We work hard to provide you with access to world-class care and programs, comprehensive medical plans at a competitive price, and the tools, resources and programs you need to help manage your health and well-being. Here is an overview of our benefits:


Health & Well-Being Benefits

Consumer-directed health plans, including Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRA) plans and a high-deductible plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Highlights include:

100 percent coverage for eligible network preventive care
$4 co-pay on thousands of eligible generic drugs
Maternity Program – personal support network before, during and after pregnancy
HMO plans (available on a location-by-location basis)
Dental insurance
Free confidential counseling and health information service
Quit Tobacco program
Company-paid life insurance for associates; optional and dependent life insurance available
Accidental death & dismemberment insurance (AD&D)
Critical illness insurance
Accident insurance
Short- and long-term disability insurance
Associate Eyewear Program

and more importantly,.. if this need is critical.. then why wait over three years to implement it?

why has Obama done nothing to actually solve this today.. or last year.. or for the last three and a 1/2 years for that matter?

the Obama plan would not have given this man coverage, but fined him for declining offered coverage..

so if making a tragedy about politics is all a liberal wants to do then they should accept the cold hard facts and not try to blame this on others and call US narrow-minded and backwards..

what is backwards and narrow-minded and extremely selfish is how the democrats and liberal president crafted this flawed law to actually make it harder for people and businesses to offer coverage, while putting off covering them for years so they can get re-elected..

remember this liberals.. the selfish Obama plan would not have given this man coverage, but fined him for declining offered coverage..













with that said,.. I would encourage all to give to assist this young man and his family at. http://calebmedley.com/help
 
On local news tonight, hospitals are going to eat the patients part of hospital bills - including cost share and co=pays. Don't lnow much more than that.

It is truly sad these people who were killed and injured, but there were many other innocent people across this nation that were killed and injured this same weekend and their lives were shattered just the same.

often there is help in tragedies like this..

and I would not be surprised if some of the doctors and surgeons didn't do the same...






I didn't make the post to be cold,.. but I am tired of liberals claiming obamcare would "give" folks like this insurance coverage.. because it doesn't,.. all it does is fine those who choose not to get offered coverage...

if god willing this guy recovers, he will not be given insurance under obamacare,.. but given a choice of buying coverage or paying a fine..

30 million will not be given coverage... 30 million will be given a choice of paying a fine or paying for offered insurance coverage through their employer or some other source..

is that so hard for liberals to understand? that they have been tricked..
