Doctors

[tooter212]

Has anyone else lost the Doctors because of medicare?  The Obama care has really screwed me up. My heart doctor dropped me because of medicare insurance. If it was a GP no big deal but heart is another thing.

Before we reached 65 our insurance for the two of us was $12,000. a year. and it didn't pay hardly anything. No dr's office calls no drugs you more or less had to be in the hospital. 4 hours in the ER with kidney stones was $5000. I just wish they would leave everything alone. All the GOOD  doctors are opting out..so now what do we do.

Not all of us are "lucky" enough to get medicare....some of us are uninsurable and have to use the charity system for what we don't have cash for. My obamacare premium is $750 for JUST ME??? Between my husband and myself, and b/c i still have four kids under 26 of which the gov't thinks i can afford to keep my kids on my husbands policy, were looking at over $2000 a month??? To me, thats WTF???

I'm not on Obama care. I have medicare and a supplement. The supplement pays everything that medicare doesn't.

While at a local CVS the other day i heard an older woman crying to the pharmacist when she realized she had to pay full $$ for her scrips...she didn't have it! I just told my 23 yr old daughter to sign up b/c she is in college w/ no income and she qualified for NOTHING!!!!! she has to go to the main healthcare page and buy it like everyone else?? I don't get it? The website is asking for her 2014 income? How the hell can she know that? She won't be out of school till may? Its a joke!

I hope you can find some good docs and I can find a good health plan...hope you are well...

I'm afraid I'm not going to keep my good dr's. so now I guess we have to go to quacks and drug pushers.

Hey tooter,

I got screwed by Obamacare too.  I not only lost dr's my health plan dropped me.  I had no idea Obamacare would impact so many people.

I have a supplement that pays real good. I'm afraid to even try to go to a dr. I know this is not a addiction problem but just wondering if your dr;s are still treating anyone here that's on medicare
