I did NOT see that the hospital was turning people away. I DID see that the people were turning away because they did not want to pay for their treatment.
Further down (lots further down)in the story it says that Maria Galvez would have had to pay the $500 for her X-rays with or without ObieCare, due to her $5,500 deductible.
NON-STORY story
The problem is, these people simply don’t understand the concept of a “deductible”. they figure if they have insurance, everything is at no cost to them.
Sticker shock when they find out THEY have to put government mandated skin in the game.
Ms. Galvez is being mugged by reality. Odds are she has no understanding whatsoever of what a deductible is, and is part of the class of people who thought Bammy was going to pay her rent and put gas in her car.
I expect the internet to be flooded with ‘I got free medical care thanks to Obamacare’ stories this week. Some will be lies/planted stories. Some will be people too ignorant to know that the bill will be coming.
