He has his so screw you

This sums it up pretty well. Rightwing selfish CONs.

But Mr. King said that he was not really worried about the outcome of the case, King v. Burwell, because as a Vietnam veteran, he has access to medical care through the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Top Plaintiff in Health Subsidies Case Awaits Edict Unperturbed
By ROBERT PEARJUNE 17, 2015

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Millions of people are waiting anxiously for the Supreme Court to decide the fate of President Obama’s health care law with a ruling this month on health insurance subsidies. But David M. King, a plaintiff in the case, is not among them.

Mr. King, 64, said recently that he was reasonably confident he would prevail in his challenge to the subsidies, a central element of the Affordable Care Act.

“We have a good chance of winning,” he said in an interview at his home here.

A review of King’s public social media accounts show he is a proud grandfather who loves his family, enjoys cooking and sharing photos from conservative blogs. One image shows a photo from the movie “Back to the Future” with instructions to the time traveler: “Marty, there is no time to lose. You must go back in time and give Obama’s dad a condom.”

“Everyone is entitled to an opinion,” King said of his Facebook page, the only other public comments he would make.

Court filings in this case show that he is married with no dependents, smokes tobacco and had a projected household income of $39,000 last year. He has owned a home in Fredericksburg since 1978, according to public records. He lives in the congressional district now represented by Rep. David Brat, who ousted former Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the primary last year.

According to his Facebook page, he is a fan of Neil Diamond, “Duck Dynasty” and the New England Patriots
