Uninsured Ex-Sheriff Who Fought O-care Struggles To Pay Medical Bills
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sheriff-mack-gofundme-medical-bills
ByCAITLIN MACNEALPublishedFEBRUARY 27, 2015, 6:00 AM EST 22412 Views
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.
"Because they are self-employed, they have no medical insurance and are in desperate need of our assistance," reads a note on Mack's personal website.
Mack, the founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, suffered a heart attack in January and is in recovery. His wife fell ill late last year. Mack is on the board of Oath Keepers, a right-wing fringe group made up of police and military veterans, and is known for supporting Cliven Bundy in his standoff against the federal government. He is also an ardent opponent of Obamacare.
"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.
The CSPOA lauded South Carolina for using Mack's 1992 lawsuit against gun control legislation to attempt to nullify the Affordable Care Act in the state.
"Now as states wake up to their true power and responsibility, we have SC taking exemplary action to protect their citizens from an out of control federal government," a CSPOA blog post about the South Carolina bill reads.
Mack founded the CSPOA to "unite all public servants and sheriffs, to keep their word to uphold, defend, protect, preserve, and obey the Constitutions of the United States of America" and described the group as "the army to set our nation free." The CSPOA is helping to get the word out about the fundraising campaign to offset the Macks' medical expenses.
"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."
From the gofundme page Love some of the comments but these assholes still donated to help a CAC prick who would've let them die and wither on the vine

UPDATE #1 26 DAYS AGO
We, as local friends, are so grateful for each person stepping forward to participate in fundraising for Sheriff Mack. Many are asking how he is doing, so we thought you would like to hear a word directly from him. Then we would like to hear from you about ways to arrange additional fundraising activities offline or with any suggestions for this project. Please send an e-mail through the icon by Jimmy’s photo, or call 480-247-1124. Thank you! Here’s Sheriff Mack:
A word from Sheriff Mack:
My wife and I are touched with every word of encouragement and donation. Thank you! I am mostly at home and resting a lot, thankful to have a second chance at life. There are up’s and down’s day to day. Overall, I’m a long way from being back to my normal state of health, but I am happy that this week I saw a doctor who offers hope of his guiding me in that direction. 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. It is difficult and humbling to say that we need your help, but we do. Please keep us in your prayers and stay with us for the duration of this fight.

I am the son of Sheriff Richard Mack. Some of his friends came to me wanting to help my dad by posting the following news description that they wrote:
Every day law enforcement officers put their lives on the line for the rest of us, in their line of duty. Richard did that for 10 years as a police officer and for 8 years as an elected sheriff, and he hasn’t stopped since, working in various ways to serve and protect fellow citizens. He fought in and won a landmark court case which has become the basis of legislation with provisions for additional protection. He has diligently been dedicated to educating individuals in the public about their rights. He has developed training for sheriffs, urging them to be courageous in protecting and defending the rights of local people and to be peace keeping officers. Often using his own personal resources to make trips, Sheriff Richard Mack has been traveling extensively, responding to those who request his assistance -- but now he needs ours.
A little over a week ago the heart with which he has given so much to others gave way on him and resulted in a cardiac medical emergency that is ongoing. This is happening only weeks after his wife was hospitalized for a very serious health issue. Their modest personal resources alone aren’t sufficient to carry them through these crises. With the family's permission, we (local friends) are dispensing this call for help, to ask for your financial contributions. We are confident that you will want to be a part of the recovery process, to put a stop to Sheriff Mack's challenges......
and help him bounce back to great health and work!
Richard now needs some very special medical attention. We don’t know how much money will be required for him to recuperate and rehabilitate or when he will be able to work again, so the amount of the goal is just an estimate for the first step and may need to be adjusted as time goes on.
He is not happy, of course, that he needs to be quiet and rest and that he is not able to work according to his values. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know him personally can attest to his humility, integrity, courage, servant spirit, and passion about people being free. We can see that he is driven by his love of God, his beautiful wife of 40 years, their 5 children and 12 grandchildren, and his love of and compassion for humanity.
Thank you so much for helping as you are able and for sharing this need with all your friends on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Please click on the "poster" icon at the bottom of this page to print nice fliers and distribute them or maybe post on bulletin boards at your work, church, and local stores. Monies will go into the Richard Mack account at Wells Fargo Bank. Please send an e-mail if you want more information. Let's work together to send him a message:
Come on, Sheriff Mack, we are not kidding around...
We want you totally well and back to work, like this...
and this... You're an American Hero! We're behind you and staying with you to see you through to great health, for as long as it takes!

Sadie McFarlane 0 mins ago So, is this how we're supposed to pay for everyone's medical bills in the Republican ideal state? Wouldn't the ACA be much more straightforward and share the burden of support better? I have to see, he simply got what he paid for. So sorry.
Mark Miller 2 mins ago So you are asking others to help pay for your health care. There is a structured way we have of doing this in our society -- it is called insurance. Everyone pays in a moderate amount so that if they have catastrophically high bills, they are covered. And medical insurance has been improved and strengthened recently -- it is called the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Now, if only you could have heard about this before reaching your current medically indigent situation... oh, wait? what?
Patty Martinez 2 mins ago I hope you receive enough money to pay your medical bills, and that this experience might soften your heart toward people who've had to live with the burden of crushing medical debt and lack of health insurance for decades before the ACA came along. Good luck.
Steve Peters 3 mins ago how about a go fuck yourself campaign i hope you lose everything you rightwing asshole
Satina Pavia 3 mins ago I don't like seeing anyone hurting. BUT you sir are a hypocrite and karma is all you'll get from me. I am sorry for your wife. I believe no one can help who they fall in love with. She has my sympathy.
Linda Kopina 3 mins ago http://www.theguardian.com/world/ri.../apr/21/sue-lowden-lowdencare-chickens-nevada Here is an idea from your anti-Obama Care party.
Terri Stroble-Hughes 4 mins ago Karma Karma Karma! You a frigging bum! Quit begging when you wouldn't help anyone else in your position!
Lee Graham 4 mins ago In 21st Century America, even moronic wingnuts deserve affordable healthcare. Too bad you didn't get the insurance you were supposed to get -- and you could easily have done so, on the ACA ("Obamacare") exchange. Now you're just a hard-luck case banking on others to bail you out for your bad decision.
Eric Clark 4 mins ago I'd be happy to send you a pair of bootstraps so that you might pull yourself up by them to get well enough to campaign against others receiving help with medical expenses. All you need to do, is start a different gofundme page to help pay for the shipping and handling.
Chris Chapman 8 mins ago to get on the internet and BEG for $$$ that you , yourself could afford, is the epitome of entitlement. you are just as helaothy as the rest who need. PAY FORYOUR own insurance...you provide NO benefittio me. if you rcitizen want to pay for you ,they may...the restof do not
Diane Benjes 10 mins ago karma's a bitch..now you know the BS you've caused others to go through. typical repug/bagger MO: i got mine, so f' the rest of y'all...how ironic you are now one of 'the rest'..hope you lose everything to pay for your bills..might want to stop drinking the faux snewz kool-aid. from your public statements it's obvious you're close to ODing on it.
Eric Clark 13 mins ago You got exactly what you asked for. Quit whining, get a second job, stop freeloading off the tax payers.
David Myles 14 mins ago ///and they can simply buy insurance as they can not be denied
Steve Watson 14 mins ago I just realized you are the sherrif who wanted women to be shot to defend Cliven Bundy. (Google "Sherrif Mack Cliven Bundy Women" to see the clip yourself of this guy saying this on camera). What little sympathy I had for you is gone. What a terrible person.
David Myles 14 mins ago this is the world you wanted for everyone else... you built this system you sell your house and everything you own you loser... karma is a bitch and you deserve all your misfortune... you denied everyone else their healthcare and now you want a handout... you are one pathetic loser... i have zero sympathy and you should die already and stop embaressing your family suck it up right winger you created your own situation
Linda Kopina 16 mins ago Sorry, I might consider this,, but I actually pay for health insurance, and I don't expect anyone to bail me out. Good luck.
Jessica Rudnick 18 mins ago Everyone who leaves this man money is beyond stupid. The sheriff and his wife are "too good" for health insurance through the affordable health care act? These people put down the health care act and now that they need it, and it's available to them (without being denied because if health issues), they are soliciting money from people when they could just get insurance and pay monthly on their own. It's not like they are poor and can't afford am insurance bill. Wake up people. Tell this man to pay for his own insurance instead of asking people for donations to pay for high out of pocket medical care costs.
Eric Zwicky 21 mins ago freeloader
Aimée Conner 22 mins ago I just left you A little bit because I don't think anyone should be under a such cascade of medical debt. I truly hope this give you an opportunity to re-think your stand on health insurance for all. Every living spirit matters.
Robert Sando 22 mins ago Should have bought insurance. Too bad for your family that you decided you were above the law. Why anyone would fund your moronic actions is beyond me. I wish you well, but I think the financial hardship is well deserved.
