He got the treatment. So, it wasn’t about not getting treated ... it was about who was going to pay for it.Did some digging. In this article (http://freebeacon.com/iowa-pastor-diagnosed-with-cancer-finds-obamacare-anything-but-affordable/), it says his ACA insurance doesn't start for another two weeks, and that he finds the price of the ACA insurance that covers the treatment to be unaffordable. So it's his old insurance that doesn't cover the treatment. And basically, he's ticked that Obummercare doesn't pay for the costs racked up by his old insurance. My sympathy more or less goes away at that point.
Something is not right with this news story.It doesn't tell the whole story. See my additional link I just posted.
Yeah, it took a while, but we all got it figured out.
I’m not in the exact same situation, but there are some similarities with my situation. I just became eligible for Medicare, and in the first month I ended up in the hospital. Now, I hadn’t yet completed everything else I was going to do, yet — so while the basic Medicare covered most of it, I was still left with bills afterward.
My Part D doesn’t go into effect until a couple of weeks from now. And my Medigap policy will go into effect at the same time.
Now while I would love for them to “go back” and cover stuff that happened before the other policies went into effect - I would be an idiot for even thinking they could or would do that.
I have to pay some money on those previous bills, but I’m not trying to make a big stink of it - just because I didn’t finish my paperwork a month earlier. That’s just the way things happen, sometimes.
AND ... by the way, my Medigap policy won’t factor in any of my pre-existing conditions - and from now on, I won’t have any copays and no deductibles (basically nothing out of pocket from now on, no matter what).
