Patients who aren’t on the medicaid free ride aren’t coming back because the deductibles are killing them.
I was forced on to our Obamacare state exchange here in NY. for my family, we basically have to spend $21,000 in premiums and deductibles before anything at all is covered.
My neighbor, who works for the local public university, and works about 175 days per year, and has every penny covered - including plastic surgery.
Besides the elimination of Obamacare, there MUST be an allowance and support for the development of CASH medical payments. Let every medical establishment establishment and doctor develop direct CASH payments from patients directly, with prices negotiated only between provider and patient. There MUST be an alternative to 3rd party payers ruling the entire system.
Yeah, I’m paying full price for Obamacare and any ER visit would probably burn through my huge deductible in 5 minutes. Can’t afford to be sick, literally.

I’ve read the financials of the hospitals around me and bad debt is way up because the O-Care patients can’t pay their deductibles.
