What good is “insurance” if it means you can’t find a doctor to treat you?

My shiny, never used Horizon health card is as effective as a dollar bill during the Great Depression. In fact, an expert tells CNN, “I think of (Obamacare) as giving everyone an ATM card in a town where there are no ATM machines.”

I think it’ll be like Canada where you and the DR will go to jail if you don’t wait until it’s “your turn” even if the wait will kill you.
What if you can only “afford” free insurance?
Maybe she will have better luck with veterinarians.
Ps. Or those wanting free care can keep going to the county health clinics ( and not the county hospital emergency) if they just need regular care or treatment and it’s not an emergency situation. Same deal no charge to the user ( or sacked lie cost services if the user can afford to pay). Obamacare seems to have added little or nothing in the way of additional medical care to these mostly non- paying people, little or nothing more than what they already had for free

"My shiny, never used Horizon health card is as effective as a dollar bill during the Great Depression. In fact, an expert tells CNN, “I think of (Obamacare) as giving everyone an ATM card in a town where there are no ATM machines.” According to a study 33% of doctors are NOT accepting Medicaid. Here in Jersey, one has a dismal 40 percent chance of finding a doctor who accepts Medicaid – the lowest in the country."
Ms. Kimberly, allow me try to explain. There is a shortage of physicians in the United States, as compared to most other developed countries. there has been for years. (This as a result of decisions made during the administration of the previous Democrat president! -- "There are fewer physicians per person than in most other OECD countries. In 2010, for instance, the U.S. had 2.4 practicing physicians per 1,000 people — well below below the OECD average of 3.1.")
Put another way -- your President Obama got elected by promising everyone in the 3rd grade class a pony. Indeed most people actually believed him. The problem is -- there aren't enough ponies around. And even if there were enough ponies, there is not enough money to pay for all the ponies.
This reminds me of the day after obozocare was passed. There were reports of obamaphone people showing up at doctor’s offices loudly demanding “I want my free doctor visit!”
Now that the same people have their shiny new medicaid cards and obozocare insurance cards, they’re back again, still demanding their free doctor visit.
Morons.
There are towns with no ATM machines. I had a person from my hometown tell me “You can always get $20 cash back when you write a check.”
I said “What if I need more than $20?”
She responded “Why would you need more than $20 in this town?” I couldn’t argue with that.
Yes, money really does not grow from trees. About time you knew that.
LOL - Jerry - “Oh yeah, it looked like you were having a real conversation back there!”
The original article is from Ebony.com. The comments are mostly making fun of this low info voter. Interesting in a black-centric magazine.
So did the Obama backer learn a lesson or are they still drinking the Kool-Aid?
It’s fun to laugh at Obamabots getting theirs, or not getting theirs, in this case. Is that your contribution? But what about a guy down the street from her who didn’t vote for Obama who can’t get a doctor either? Are we supposed to laugh in his face too?
Within the next few months you will observe a skyrocketing number of people with “flat foreheads” who have learned the word “DUH!”.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Don’t compare this to swampland in Canada! Swampland in Canada actually has real value!
Rue it!
but it's free...
