IRS
Audit For Cancer Patient Choosing Death Over ObamaCare

Health
Reform: A cancer patient who spoke out against the cancellation of
his insurance by ObamaCare now faces an IRS audit he may not live to
see, and says he'll pay the fine rather than burden his family.
Bill
Elliott knows the meaning of the adage that the only two things that
are certain are death and taxes, for he is now staring both in the
face.
Like
the Tea Party before him, Elliott faces an IRS audit for speaking out
against the ObamaCare that canceled his insurance coverage he liked
and was promised he could keep.
He
appeared recently on Charleston, S.C.'s WQSC and was told by the
radio host that "you stood up and spoke out about how ObamaCare
screwed over your insurance and probably would kill you, and what's
the next thing that happened? You get audited by the IRS. That is not
a coincidence."
Elliott
responded, "No, it's not."
"I
like my doctor. I love my insurance," Elliott told Fox News
anchor Megyn Kelly last Thursday night. "They were paying just
about everything, including medication and medical devices."
Then
he got the letter that told him that his cancer was considered
"beyond a catastrophic pre-existing condition" and his plan
was being canceled because of new regulations.
Elliott
says he was given the option of a new $1,500-per-month plan, up from
the $180 per month or so that he'd been paying.
"Now
with ObamaCare, the man that I've got looked into it, they are not
going to pay for pharmaceuticals or medical devices. MRI that I had
last month before I got canceled was $3,000. Now, if I have to have
another one, it costs me out of my pocket $3,000," Elliott told
Kelly on Nov. 7.
"I've
thought about this long and hard," Elliott said. "When my
insurance comes out, just for me, it will be $1,500 a month with a
$13,500 deductible. I'm not going to pay that. If I make it that
long, I will pay the $95 fine and let nature take its course."
Elliott
told Kelly he actually voted for Obama over Mitt Romney last year
specifically because he liked what Obama had promised about being
able to keep your doctors and your insurance plans...
