“Unified System” View of Luis Lang, Reluctant ACA Pt/Supporter cover



Lang sparks wrong questions

Have you weighed in on Luis Lang, the diabetic smoker who put off getting health insurance until he was about to go blind from complications of diabetes, only to find it was too late to enroll in an Affordable Care Act policy and that he wasn’t eligible for Medicaid in South Carolina? Since his story was reported in the Observer, it has unleashed a torrent of comments and has been widely disseminated through social media. Lang has raised more than $25,000 for eye surgery through the original story and his GoFundMe site – and is now an advocate for the ACA.

Apparently everyone has a position…

The problem is that this is the wrong discussion.

What’s the best model?

…

We all benefit from coverage

…

Much spending is wasted
