Bears repeating again, and again, and again! SPOT ON! Grow up, be an adult, take responsibility for yourself and pay your own f'ign way!
What few realize is that networks are combining and doctors are getting added to networks without their knowledge or permission. Then we get calls from patients who say the doctor is listed in their handbook for their particular network and they want an appointment.
Not going to be seen, at least with my doctor clients, unless the patient wants to pay up front as a private pay patient. Doctors, particularly those who are trying to maintain a solo practice, pay their bills and keep their staff intact, are being made out to be the bad guys. This certainly is one time they shouldn’t be. In some cases better for them to stop taking all insurance and negotiate fees with the patients.
I don't care WTH you want free, citizens cannot be forced work for anybody.
The shortage is much larger than the Gov or MSM are letting on.
Doctors go Galt.
Who did you vote for Miranda?
Dead bang correct.
My Cadillac (silver?) family insurance, including some dental and eyeglasses cost over $1650.00 month about 12x his $145.
I thought the article said she is 60?
Because you are helping to subsidize their insurance too so it cost them less and you more!
I’m guessing its an old photo.
Wow - that is harsh. But it’s true and it needed to be said.
And if you don’t mind, I’d like to borrow that thought. I’ll put it to good use, I assure you...
Note the recurring theme of low reimbursements for doctors. No one addresses that.
bump for later
I'll bet the Obama borg are working on that problem. They will find a way to make sure that if you practice medicine, you will take Obamacare. Then it is a short jump to mandating that if you have a medical education, you will work for the state. The US is rapidly moving away from that free citizen thingy.
——— I believe the onus is on the insurers and the providers to bridge this gap -——
This is an ignorant statement by a true socialist that lives on unicorn milk.
She doesn’t understand that the reason to be in business is to make money. To make money, bills for services rendered must be paid.
A patient that has Obamacare has no insurance until the deductible is reached. That means that the patient must pay for the total at the Doctor’s office at the time the service is rendered. Having no money the patient can’t pay. Knowing that, the presentation of an Obamacare card is an alarm bell proclaiming the patient can’t pay.
That gap was intended to be paid by the insurance policy but is not because the whole Obama scam prevents it. There is simply not enough money in the system.
As the great Walter Williams puts it, “In order for one person to get a thing without paying for it, another person must pay for that thing without getting it”.
‘We do not accept anything from the marketplace [Obamacare]’.’’
My husband said that when he called to make an appointment with his dermatologist, there was an upfront disclaimer that they won’t accept any insurance from healthcare.gov. ‘Glad that wasn’t his case.
LOL Karma can be just a barrel of laughs sometime!
I think the serious disease is stupidity...but whatever!
None of the specialists that I was seeing will accept any of this new insurance.
This includes my ( former) dermatologist, cardiologist, and gastroenteroligist.
Have to find new ones, but most of them are 90+ miles away.
My eye doctor is also not accepting...
