There are many (un) intended consequences under Obama care that will start to bubble through the surface.
My Spouse has had 4 Back operations, has titanium rods from her neck down to her tailbone and rods going into her hips.
Her doctor had tried all different medicines, including morphine patches, to help with her incredible pain. # years ago, she stumbled on a medication that has pain relief as a side effect. It worked wonders.
This month we tried to fill her new prescription, only to be told that the medication was refused, because of the new Obama care rules.
I spoke with the pharmacy and was told that our predicament is not isolated. Many prescriptions are affected and many customers are starting to be upset even cursing at the stores. Of course, it is not their fault. It is the ACA that is causing the problem.
Just some food for thought.................
My wife’s doctor sent her to get some X-rays and such, and told her that if she was on welfare he’d be allowed to do them in his office but ObamaCare now prevents that for people with their own insurance...
Thanks, I don’t doubt it!
Just another good indication that Obamacare was never about care. Wonder how many more stories like this are out there that are as yet untold?
I am very sorry to hear this.
“I spoke with the pharmacy and was told that our predicament is not isolated. Many prescriptions are affected and many customers are starting to be upset even cursing at the stores. Of course, it is not their fault. It is the ACA that is causing the problem.”
This is very common in countries that implement socialism, not just with healthcare, but everything. As we continue down this path expect this from everything.
Hello.
Read about your poor wife-you both have my sympathies. I’m in the same boat but not quite as extensive as your wife may be. Mine came about when I was nearly killed by a drunk driver in 1989. After the second back surgery, I swore-never again!
May I respectfully ask what medication was she on? I’ve been using small dosage methadone to help deal with my pain for the last 15 years and now Humana (Medicare Part D -GRRRR!!!) says they won’t cover it. Thankfully, it’s still cheap enough that I can afford it-for now. Who knows how long that will last as there have been rumblings of making it much harder to obtain. As it is now, I now am forced to drive to a hospital pharmacy 26 miles from home in order to find it! Most either don’t carry it, stay sold out and some won’t even confirm they have it over the phone due to fears of armed robbery!
Sorry to ramble on so.
Thanks much for your time.
