Will Obamacare succeed where term limits failed?

Last I checked, pneumonia was treatable, if you get to it quickly enough.

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.

Noting that the essential supporter of a libertarian candidate died of preventable causes, uninsured, leaving his mom with $400k in medical bills, is somehow off-limits? Please.

You don't inherit debt. Debts are paid from the deceased's estate. If there isn't enough value in the estate to cover it... the lender takes a haircut. The only way she could be "left with his debts" is if she was the payer in the first place. In which case, they were her debts all along.

Lastly, I'd like to address the hypocrisy accusation over people who take tax deductions they aren't in favor of or receive benefits from programs that they don't like the structure of.....

I don't have a mortgage, but you can bet I'd take the tax deduction if I did. Also, if Social Security is still paying out when I'm old enough to get benefits- I will most certainly take any benefits that I am eligible for. I don't think Social Security is sustainable as it's currently constituted, nor do I think it is a good investment. Were I to take the 12% of my income the federal government is taking from me and invest it into an IRA- I could get a much better ROI than I will get thru Social Security. That does not change the fact that the government has been taking 12% of my income for this program my entire working life. Therefore, if I get the chance to get any of that money back- I'm going to take it.
