Uninsured wing-nut, anti-Obamacare ex-sheriff raising money for medical bills

Ah, life.

Former Arizona county sheriff Richard Mack, a fierce opponent of Obamacare and a leader in the "constitutional sheriff" movement, is struggling to pay his medical bills after he and his wife each faced serious illnesses. The former sheriff and his wife do not have health insurance and started a GoFundMe campaign to solicit donations from family and friends to cover the costs of their medical care. […]
"The States do not have to take or support or pay for Obamacare or anything else from Washington DC. The States are not subject to federal direction," he wrote on his website, outlining how state governments can block President Obama.
That was Mack then. This is Mack now.

"Since it appears that recovery will take a good deal of time with associated expenses, I struggle to not feel stress—both the stress of thinking about huge hospital and other medical bills as well as regular living expenses while I am unable to work—and also the stress of not being able to accomplish what I am so passionate about doing for others," Mack wrote in a note on his GoFundMe page. "It is difficult and humbling to say that we need your help, but we do."

The comments are searing, yet many progressives are donating in accordance with their compassionate sensibilities. Extraordinary contrast between progressive and conservative (tea party version) values.
