Herman Cain says if Obama's health care plan had been in effect when he was diagnosed with cancer, he would be dead.

So basically Cain is saying that he is alive today because he could afford the best healthcare money could buy!
What would "ObamaCare" be if nothing more than a Government run healthcare program like Medicare or Medicaid or even the VA. Oh wait what's this factoid???

Before his business and economics career he worked as a mathematician in ballistics for the United States Navy

I'm sure he didn't use his VA benefits at all!

People can say whatever they like. It doesn't make their statement true.

Yea, something isn't adding up with the whole "i'd be dead" proclamation.

You each have Doctors i am sure. Talk to them, the Doctors i know, are all against obamacare, they each have different reasoning why, but one thing is sure, they feel Obamacare is not something we should be fighting for. Get the news from Doctors themselves, i doubt they will lie to you. Get how they feel from the horses mouth.

Yes he is. Under Obamacare he would have been denied the treatment he needed for the duration he received it. He would not have been allowed the option to pay for his own advanced medical treatment needs. His physician would not have been allowed under Obamacare to offer those treatements.

Obamacare is ceding the ultimate controll over your life or death to the central planning government.

Winning!

And I could have easily been dead without it, if not for luckily obtaining a job with health insurance 4 months before I was diagnosed with cancer at 23. I was sick for 4 years prior to diagnosis but due to lack of adequate health insurance and lack of affordable care, I went misdiagnosed so that when I was finally diagnosed, it was Stage 4.

My medical team is against Obamacare, but only because it's not universal healthcare. This includes the head of lymphoma at one of the premiere cancer institutions in the country and the chief of oncology at an affiliate.
