Injured Skier PRAISES Obamacare, then BEGS FOR DONATIONS to Cover Medical Expenses

An injured ski instructor who was hospitalized after impaling his face with a tree branch, couldn’t say enough good things about Obamacare.

He was “so thrilled” to have the coverage…..

Until reality set in and he saw what wasn’t covered.

At that point, the ski instructor created a Gofundme and begged for money to cover his medical costs.

Yep, Obamacare is awesome!

[…]The pain actually began with numbing shots at the hospital, he told the paper, after which “they cut the top-left section of my lip near the exit-wound, trimmed the back half and pulled it through.”

The other painful part? The hospital bill — $1,5oo.

And while the Huffington Post reported that Hagood is “feeling grateful for the Affordable Care Act,” his expenses prompted him to launch a GoFundMe campaign.

“The surgery to remove the stick will easily cost me over a thousand dollars. My deductible is 1250. This was totally unplanned and sucks so if y’all would be so kind as to chip in for my medical expenses that would be sooo cool,” Hagood wrote on his GoFundMe page. “Guess I should reconsider the lip piercing trend.”

As of Wednesday morning, Hagood’s $1,500 funding goal has been met, and total stands at $1,805.

While a number of folks have been supportive of the skier’s predicament, others snapped at him on the page for seeking donations.

“Another dip s**t with his hand out,” Del Yates Jr. wrote. “Pay for your own f*** ups.”

“This guy says he has insurance but still needs to beg for money (because Obamacare)…” Brynn Forest said, “yet he has a Facebook profile full of crap about ‘resisting’ our elected President, Donald J. Trump, who, ironically is trying to make healthcare affordable again. This dude is an idiot in more ways than one.”

Julie Kreps suggested that “if you can afford to go skiing you can afford your medical expenses. Suck it up cupcake, welcome to being a responsible adult!”
