Will Obamacare succeed where term limits failed?

The guy had a pre-existing condition, a un-named"blood disorder" and died from pneumonia. Kinda sounds like HIV to me. But we're both talking about a dead man and trying to attribute motives that we neither know nor understand. We should probably stop.

My friend died from almost exactly the same thing. Healthy, fit as a fiddle, just bought a BMW, started job with a new firm as a financial analyst in Manhattan (at 24 years old) , 95k per year, met a girl. He began complaining of chest pain on Friday night, was dead by 1 pm the next day in a hospital in the NY metropolitan area. Fully insured, Cadillac plan, asymptomatic up to 24 hours prior. Some childhood anemia diagnosis which never gave him a problem, coupled with walking pneumonia was the cause of his total body toxicity and organ failure.

I don't mind that Lemur is vilifying and using as political cudgel a man who died from a serious form of pneumonia who happened, also,to refuse to buy into the absolutely broken medical insurance system; but I'm not sure that it is the kind of argument that someone who wasn't solely trying to rationalize his own tacky argument would continue to make. It's ok to back down sometimes - or to press on instead, like the reasonable moderate who never backs down from firmly held positions which lampoon the "right" that he is.
