——— 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.

That's the whole point. Doctors KNOW that if the patient received his insurance card on the exchange, there's a damned likely chance they won't get paid at all.

But yet the doc gets ALL of the legal liability.

Would ANYONE in any other line of work accept these terms?

Oh, you "might" get paid, you might not, who knows?

Yeah, just great.
