to pay for his own medical expenses. His wife, who up until now has "chosen not to work" because he was making good money, could consider getting a job like the rest of us. They could downsize considerably from their 3,300 sq.ft. home and still live very decently. I am struck by the fact that they are trying to blame Obama and congressional Democrats for their own stupid choices. I would think that a self-employed 49-year-old with a history of poorly controlled diabetes, who would have been uninsurable pre-ACA, would have jumped at the chance for a health plan.
