UPDATE
Sick man whose Obamacare story went viral could be thwarted by Supreme Court
“Now that I’m looking at what each party represents, my wife and I are both saying — hey, we’re not Republicans!” Lang said….
“I put the blame on everyone — Republican and Democrat. But I do mainly blame Republicans for their pigheadedness,” Lang said.
“They’re blocking policies that could help everyone. I’m in the situation I’m in because they chose not to expand Medicaid for political reasons. And I know I’m not the only one.”…
Lang also told Think Progress that he now supports universal health care. As
Steve Benen notes, there are other examples of people “who thought they hated ‘Obamacare,’ right up until they needed it.”
Ann Doss Helms, the Charlotte Observer reporter who broke the story, backs up what Lang told Think Progress.
She tells me she has connected him with a local health care adviser who is ready to help him get on Obamacare, and that he appears ready to do that. “He has told me that he knows he needs to get insurance, and that he would take a federal subsidy to get it,” Helms says.
