AAPS Executive Director Jane Orient, MD points out that: The provision states that uninsured patients, and ONLY uninsured patients may use credit, a credit card, a check, or a draft (but not cash). This implies two things: (1) Insured patients cannot pay for pain treatment that their insurance supposedly covers but denies in their case. (2) Uninsured patients who are hard up and don't have a checking account or credit cannot buy this type of medical care. Why should they not be allowed to use currency that is legal tender (and does not involve paying fees to a bank)? And what can practitioners do to protect themselves against fraudulent checks--which cost the recipient a substantial fee from the bank?

This reminds me of the Liberty Dollar. A business should be allowed to accept anything as a form of payment, provided both parties agree to it.
We’ll keep an eye on this one for ya from Wisconsin.
In the meanwhile - Everybody on the 0bamaCare Bus!
*SPIT*
What is their point in banning cash?
Welcome to the next unintended (or intended) consequence of the war on drugs.

This is getting pretty draconian. If an insured patient wants to personally pay for a prescription that insurance will not pay for, why can’t they? We just had this happen - insurance would not pay for lidocaine patches, but my relative wanted to pay personally & give it a try to see if it would relieve pain - the patches helped & although very expensive, can be used when necessary.
Second, some people don’t want a bank account or credit card. They should be able to pay cash for ANYTHING.
There is very little personal freedom left in this country - by forcing people to use a checking account or credit card, the government is making sure they can track just about everything you do.

2015 - 2016 LEGISLATURE
ASSEMBLY SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1,
TO ASSEMBLY BILL 366
http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2015/related/amendments/ab366/asa1_ab366
October 21, 2015 - Offered by Representative Nygren (R-Marinette,WI)
They can’t ban cash, it is written on each bill for just this reason.
“This bill is legal tender for all debts private and public.”

What about bribes? Can they still be in cash?
I am not altogether sure that this is constitutional. Art I Sec. 8 gives Congress authority over money and regulation of interstate commerce. The Health industry has long been recognized as interstate by the courts. In other words state regulation of any commercial activity that is interstate in nature is subordinate to Federal under the constitution. I am having a hard time seeing how any state can declare that Federally issued money is not acceptable for any legally available product or service, much less one that falls under the interstate commerce clause.
Color me dubious.
Nobody's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
There are states such as Wisconsin and Kansas that should be conservative but are wretched hives of scum and communism.
Eliminate cash and the eiltes/bureaucracies/IRS will be able to keep track of every single personal property transaction/garage sell, book buy, gun transfer or whatever-—so they can monitor (and eventually control) every single private action and tax you or “watch” you-—or put you in prison, or whatever.
You will never have the ability to be private (have dignity of any sort—you are an object of the State/bank).
That way-—in the Brave New World-—they can isolate and target and kill all their “enemies” easily-—they have no ability to buy anything if the bank shuts them off-—people who believe in self-reliance/autonomy.
Anyone who is not willing to be a “happy slave” of the elite sodomites can be totally controlled.
And what can practitioners do to protect themselves against fraudulent checks—which cost the recipient a substantial fee from the bank?

Huh? I’ve been the recipient of a fraudulent check, the bank didn’t charge me anything.
Um, excuse me? It’s, ‘Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy.”
If you are going to INSULT us, then get it RIGHT!
P.S. :) XXOO
When this whole obama care thing started a group of doctors out of Augusta Maine decided to accept no medicare/medicaid/obama care and take ONLY cash/check/credit cards...all prices are up front and far less than any hospital...you can even get a home visit...These are the doctors I have chosen(I am healthy and never go to see one except for a paid physical for 98.00 flat) to take care of me and my better half. We pay a small monthly fee for membership and have access to anything a hospital has to offer ....there are many of these services available around the country...look into it.
This would violate Article I, section 10, of the US Constitution. First, states may not impair contracts, and contracts may specify the means of payment. Second no state may prohibit use of US currency to pay any debt.
Will do. Thanks for the heads up.
