Sheriff Who Fought Against Obamacare Raising Money Online To Pay His Medical Bills - GoFuckYourself.com

SuckOnThis · 02-28-2015, 11:39 AM

Former Arizona county sheriff Richard Mack, a fierce opponent of Obamacare and a leader in the "constitutional sheriff" movement, is struggling to pay his medical bills after he and his wife each faced serious illnesses. The former sheriff and his wife do not have health insurance and started a GoFundMe campaign to solicit donations from family and friends to cover the costs of their medical care.

"Because they are self-employed, they have no medical insurance and are in desperate need of our assistance," reads a note on Mack's personal website.

Mack, the founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, suffered a heart attack in January and is in recovery. His wife fell ill late last year. Mack is on the board of Oath Keepers, a right-wing fringe group made up of police and military veterans, and is known for supporting Cliven Bundy in his standoff against the federal government. He is also an ardent opponent of Obamacare.

"The States do not have to take or support or pay for Obamacare or anything else from Washington DC. The States are not subject to federal direction," he wrote on his website, outlining how state governments can block President Obama.

I also like how conservative states are scrambling to try to setup exchanges due to the possibility that Obamacare subsidies may only apply to states with exchanges

It's better to be forced to beg for money to pay your medical bills than to be forced by the government into responsibility for your medical expenses.

Well, he gambled and lost.

Reminds me of this:

I have been self employed for half my employed life, and that entire time I never lapsed on health insurance. I have probably used it, but a handful of times, mainly for regular check ups and such.

Health Insurance is certainly something I would rather have and never need, than need and never have.
