A cancer patient, who publicly discussed the cancellation of his insurance under ObamaCare, now says he has been informed by the Internal Revenue Service that he is going to be audited.

Bill Elliot appeared on Fox News on November 7th to discuss the cancellation of his insurance. He claims he was told that his cancer was considered “beyond the catastrophic previous condition” and his plan was being canceled because of ObamaCare regulations.

Elliot, who has Stage 4 cancer, informed viewers he wasn’t going to pay the $1,500 a month for the new plan being offered, preferring not to burden his family and to “let nature take it’s course.”

After his story attracted media attention, Elliot says his insurance company decided to let him keep his coverage:

His insurance company was not required to cancel his policy. They chose to do so because his policy was costing them money. They had to cancel it now, because next year they wouldn't be allowed to just dump him like this.

his is insurance company tried to **** him over, and when it got publicity they backtracked and tried to blame the government.

Proof of this is right in the story: the insurance company "decided" to let him keep his policy after the media attention. If regulation really had forced them to drop his plan, there wouldn't be a decision to make.

I didn't bring it up, the article did. Clearly they wanted you mad about obamacare in general. They spent twice as much space discussing his insurance woes as they did the IRS issue.

As far as the audit goes, I would say "post hoc ergo propter hoc."
 
Simple right wing outrage.

I was pissed about Obamacare way before this story. He is the only President we have ever had that would value 15% over 85%

More like simple WH intimidation. Bark negatively on TV about Obamacare, welcome to IRS audit-ville.
 
Of course, or Obama may call in an IRS manager type at some local office to come to the WH 147 times and talk about harassging you. Or what ever that tax scandal thing was. I dont see how the right wing isnt exhausted all the time.

You're exactly right to roll your eyes at that. Nothing we are going to be forced to get will be affordable.

Obama wouldn't do such a thing, that's what WH staffers are for.

Obama is too busy killing Osama bin Laden and curing AIDS.
 
If he cured aids you guys would still find scandal in Obama killing the aids industry.

Ends do not justify the means. That's a cliche for a reason.

I don't think there's any proof of that yet. Unless you have some and aren't telling us.
 
Isnt proof what is lacking for most (all) of the RW outrages we hear about daily?

Obama's brownshirts will find something wrong with one of his filings, then they'll fine the hell out of him so he can't afford his medical deductible.

Well if that's the progression of events, I'd certainly like to read about it.
