Fighting strong emotions, as her husband did die, she went through the whole process her husband had to fight through to get the treatment he needed. And he kept getting the runaround. Several times around. Finally, battling decaying health, he finally gave up & said the hell with it, to paraphrase. So it was not a matter of not being able to afford care, they were both just fed up with all the B.S. associated with ObamaCare;

Whatever insurance they had, it is NOT Obamacare. It may be a policy bought through an exchange, but the insurance company takes over after that. We never heard what the procedure was or why it was declined. May have had nothing to do with ObamaCare.

I just now tried to go back and re-listen to that part of the testimony but for some reason it has been cut out of the official video posted on the Committee's website. It cuts out from right after she was beginning to tell the story and then suddenly cuts to the next Congressman.

She said this during the testimony and I heard it repeated today on talk radio (Hannity, I think) - she said she didn't even know he declined a test - a stress test (not during the hearing, but on the radio) - until a post-mortem discussion with one of his doctors. She doesn't know if he was too busy, or aggravated about other problems, but she does know it was during the period they were in that limbo where they were told one thing by one entity and another thing by another.
