I was hesitant to call this story "Obamacare Follies" for the simple fact it makes it appear light-hearted and/or funny. There is nothing funny about the following story. Pastor Angran was diagnosed with stage three cancer of the esophagus. He had insurance, but because of a previous heart condition, it did not cover the treatments he needed for his cancer. He found this out just minutes before receiving life-saving chemo. A worker came in to talk to the pastor. He was informed that under Obamacare he is not covered for lifesaving chemo treatments. As a result, the Angrans have emptied their savings account and now are $50K in debt thanks in no small part to Obamacare. The Angrans can't even afford to pay the premiums which are over $800 a month and with less coverage than their former insurance plan. Pastor Angran said there is, "no compassion in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)." No word from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on whether he thinks Pastor Angran is lying or not.
