Chief security officer just had his leg amputated bc of COVID & his family had go to GoFundMe to pay

[kpete]

Bailey’s friends have raised more than $30,000 for his rehabilitation through a GoFundMe account. The White House declined to say whether Trump has contributed to the effort.

“Crede beat COVID-19 but it came at a significant cost: his big toe on his left foot as well as his right foot and lower leg had to be amputated,” Dawn McCrobie, who organized the GoFundMe effort for Bailey, wrote Dec. 7.

1. That must be really bad insurance.

There is no reason for this to happen in America. Especially to WH employees.

2. Gold plated high level government health insurance not enough?

Didn't he get the million dollar treatment that tRump, Ghouliani, and Christie got so they could claim it is just the flu?

Does Bailey still call it a hoax? (assuming he toed tRump line in White House)

11. I think you misunderstood his position: he's a career staffer....

Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding said:

I feel for the man. Bailey is not a political appointee of Trump. He’s just a career staffer who is the head of security. He doesn’t deserve this. Nobody does. But especially not him.

14. Thanks for more background. . . . nt

[Blue Owl]

3. Oh tRump contributed alright

He's the superspreader that probably infected Bailey from the start, and responsible for the whole mess

4. You'd think old orange ass, the "billionaire," would pay all the guy's expenses.

It's shameful a government employee has to go begging, especially considering being around Trump most likely gave it to him.

5. He made his bed.

We all have choices to make in life. He made a poor one, it happens. I have no charity in my heart for anyone who intentionally worked to support the Trump Presidency in any capacity.

8. No he didn't

he isn't an appointee he is a career staffer.

[Chainfire]

18. He chose to continue to work around a bunch of people who would not follow safey protocols

It was a self-inflicted wound.

[kcr]

19. Yeah. All he had to do is go to the job tree and shake it.

[Chainfire]

20. He made a personal choice to continue to work at the risk of his life and health

People make those kinds of decisions every day. He rolled the dice and he lost. Never gamble what you can't afford to lose.

[JI7]

21. Going homeless would also risk his life and health.

[kcr]

22. What are you even doing here?

[Chainfire]

23. I may ask the same question

If you think that you have all of the answers and other opinions don't matter, and who ever disagrees with you shouldn't be here? That sounds rather undemocratic to me.....

People are responsible for their own on the job safety. I have been to dozens of safety classes in my life, where that is constantly drilled.... I quit a good paying job because the company would not follow OSHA regulations, putting my health and safety at risk in order to save them money. It cost me a pile of money, but I emerged with my health intact. It was a personal choice. The "victim" had the same option. It was apparently more important for him to keep his job than to protect his health. He had every right to make that call.

Now I have made my point, I have clarified my point, so I am done here.

13. He's a career government employee

6. I am always amazed at how differently the Covid virus affects people.

[Hekate]

17. Early on, autopsies showed hundreds of thousands of micro-clots of the blood--everywhere...

That gave me a chill. Imagine what that can do to your brain — or any outlying region, such as legs.

COVID19 is a monster.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. The purpose of health insurance companies is to siphon money that should go to health care.

10. He was exposed to those fucking maskless superspreaders

from Killa Kon down - he should sue the administration.

12. Trump could spend days in Walter Reed for an ingrown toenail.

And he would have a team of specialists taking care of him. All at the taxpayers' expense.

[Cha]

15. OMg.. poor guy. I hadn't heard of

the trump Virus causing any amputations!

Rt TY!! Why doesn't Bailey have Insurance that would pay for this?!! He works in the WH for Security for god's sake!

[Cha]

16. Class Action Lawsuit Against trump?...
