User ID: 38736160 United States 07/05/2016 12:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hear you, I lost my Dr right before the "Affordable Care Act" started. He's from Canada and told all his patients beforehand this was seriously a horrible idea and wouldn't work. He went with the MDVIP route to avoid being part of "Affordable Care Act". I can't afford the membership for that and he had to limit his practice to certain number to be part of that. Keep looking around, I found a $40 wellness clinic that operates like an urgent care. Its better than nothing I suppose and there if I need it. girlonfire |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 72479491 United States 07/05/2016 12:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, thanks to my leaders I didn't get to keep my doctor I liked. Just got dumped by the office one day before my insurance's new year in July kicked in. Now searching for a competent doc and the earliest appointment is in 3 months. Quoting: Blue Mist I have work related health insurance by BCBS but apparently it isn'the paying enough. I feel like a homeless person. Now I have to hit the urgent care facilities for my medication prescription refills. Can't wait for the Presidential vote in November!!!!! Pay cash |

They are letting go a majority of their workforce, and outsourcing the jobs. Even their webmaster is getting the axe. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

My neighbor just dislocated her shoulder. Her insurance now has a huge deductible, so the treatment she needs is all out of pocket. Before Obamacare, she'd have been covered. Revolution, anyone? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69461972 United States 07/05/2016 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The cost of health care in this country is ridiculous. Get a Tylenol in the hospital and it will cost you $15.00 These megalithic health care institutions care only about profits. These health insurance companies care only about profits. While everyone is complaining about ACA the CEO of Unitedhealthcare made $66 million in 2014. The CEO of Blue Cross made $57 million in 2014. |

Not sure if that was a "good" doctor to begin with.. |

Daughter lost approval for asthma meds; deemed non-formulary and unnecessary (i.e. too expensive) Rx costs are full priced at generic cost. ..goes toward deductible. Every year they take away something, yet premiums rise. This is for Aetna, private coverage, and we've never had an illness beyond colds. Thanks, legislators. Complicit liars. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72125129 United States 07/05/2016 04:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lost my doc about 9 months back. Now have to figure out who is taking patients and of those who is NOT from India or other foreign country that doesn't give a shit about women. Wait list at all is about two months. Pay cash?? Nope, have asked around. Get this, doctors will not take cash....I have never in my entire life heard this. But ran into it while calling multiple offices. But I had someone in the insurance billing department explain this to me. If a patient pays cash and there is something that this patient needs to be seen for - if they find high blood pressure that needs to be treated or whatnot. The insurance will not come in AFTER the diagnosis and pick up the tab. The patient will need to always pay out of pocket for that diagnosis. So yea it is all a fuck up. |

I pay cash at the doctors for a reduced cost to me. The cost at my one doctor's office is actually a few dollars less than my co-pay when I had the insurance coverage. There are plenty of doctors who take cash. Ask around. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |
