IF ONLY THERE WERE AN ACT OF CONGRESS THAT COULD PROTECT THIS PATIENT AND ENSURE HIM AFFORDABLE CARE: Vegas man stuck with $407,000 medical bill after ObamaCare breakdown.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Larry Basich, a 62-year-old Vegas resident, has been stuck with the massive medical bill despite signing up for an insurance plan via the state exchange last fall.

Basich, according to the article, selected a UnitedHealthcare plan in November, and even paid his first premium. But he never received confirmation that he was enrolled, despite being assured that he was by Nevada Health Link.

Amid the confusion, Basich suffered a heart attack at the end of December, and had to undergo a triple bypass. Now, according to the Review-Journal, no insurer will claim his bills — and he’s caught in a financially frightening battle as he appeals to the exchange and its contractor, Xerox, for help.
