RE:”But her frustration bubbled over when she tried to arrange a follow-up visit with an orthopedist in her Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield network: The nearest doctor available who treated ankle problems was in Stamford, Conn. When she called to protest, her insurer said that Stamford was 14 miles from her home and 15 was considered a reasonable travel distance. “It was ridiculous — didn’t they notice it was in another state?” said Ms. Pineman, 46, who was on crutches.”

14 miles?

14 miles is not too far to travel to the doctor. There is much more wrong with Obamacare than this example.

Too funny. Another state! It is not like the adjoining state is a foreign country. It was 14 freaking miles away.

“After all, she’d supported President Obama and the act as a matter of principle.”

After, all, she’d supported President Obama because anything a lefty ideologue shovels out is way better than thinking for yourself.

There, fixed it.
