Guy who says Obamacare Saved his Life on CNN with Don Lemon. Says he wasn't a good person before

[JI7]

this is very worth watching and gave what was probably the most honest reason for opposing obamacare before he got cancer and it was able to help him. says he wasn't a good person and didn't care for others.

1. This is when reality hits, it must be easy for those to deny healthcare to others

If healthcare is not important to them but when the situation changes reality becomes everyday thoughts. I am glad to hear some are thinking differently about health care. This should be played over and over.

2. I hung up on my mom

I own an insurance business, I know a lot about it, I'm on the higher level, meaning I don't sell insurance, I'm a service provider to carriers.

My mom tried to tell me how bad PPACA is....I start talking about the lifetime maximum limits, her stop loss, no pre existings and how when she got diagnosed with cancer, she doesn't have anything to worry about.

She starts cutting me off about how her carrier sent her a letter about PPACA (it wasn't the carrier, it was the employer). She went negative and I hung up.

She can't comprehend that PPACA is the reason she's not bankrupt right now due to her cancer and hepatitis C and various other medical issues (COPD, Alcoholism, broken leg, osteoporosis and more). She's 58.

These people are fucking nuts.

5. I feel your pain.

My sister got mad when I asked her how Christians come to terms with poor people losing their health benefits.

6. Your mother and mine.

Mine turns 61 this year. Is minus a couple organs that tried to kill her thanks to insurance. Isn't bankrupt because of her second husband's terminal cancer, thanks to insurance. She didn't have to give up her career to care for her parents and grandparents thanks to insurance.

I'm so sorry. I've been hanging up on mine for more than year. Solidarity, Sibling.

7. It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong.

His honesty has helped many people today.
