She was told she would need a referral from her doctor before she could go to any urgent care facility. She was told urgent care facilities can no longer accept walk in patients!!!!!

Something wrong here, urgent care facilities in ABQ definitely do accept walk-in patients:

Thank you for the specific response about Albuquerque

I went to your suggested url about the urgent care facilities. They ALL have regular business hours and request that you make an appointment to visit them. THEY ARE NO LONGER URGENT CARE FACILITIES BUT JUST A BRANCH OF PHS IN MY OPINION.

I just called two of the PHS urgent care centers here in Albuquerque. They are closed because it is past their normal business hours. They would be happy to take a payment using their auto pay system however. It is now 6:40 pm here in Albuquerque.

So apparently obamacare has struck in New Mexico.
