A co worker whose wife recently had a liver transplant. The cost of the operation and the years of highly expensive care before the surgery cost a little over $1 million. He does not like Obama, or the ACA. Openly mocks the president any chance he gets.

Meanwhile he is too naive to understand that without the ACA his insurance company would have told he and his wife to go pound sand once they hit their cap, and his wife would have almost certainly died.

Yet not a whiff of understanding or contemplation from him.
