Good! All doctors should refuse to accept Obamacare or even abide by its rules. F 'em!
The couple applied for Medicaid but did not qualify in Texas.
They thought about paying out of pocket, however, the quotes they received for a basic hospital birth, up to $15,000, scared them.
That wasn’t the only issue. She explained that some of the doctors told her they wouldn’t see her because she was too far along in her pregnancy at the time, roughly 30 weeks. The practices that did take the insurance operated as a rotating clinic meaning she wasn’t guaranteed to see the same doctor every visit.
“It was mind numbing,” she told NPR. “Because I was just sitting there thinking, ‘I’m paying close to $400 a month just for me to have insurance that doesn’t even work. So what am I paying for?’ “
Her husband grew even more frustrated after he called Blue Cross to be told that the doctors should take the plan.
Louis Adams, a spokesman for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, said that he checked the same list a month after Rachel Robinson had checked it and found that most of the 28 doctors do take the HMO insurance.

I don’t know where they get these quotes for $375 per Month. I would love to get insurance for $375 per Month (my old family plan, before it was dropped was $110 per week). The cheapest plan (aka Bronze) I could get for my family given my income was $279.50 per week with a $6000 deductible. How can that be?
Hahahahahahahaha. Sucker. This is EXACTLY what they had in mind you moron.
The thing that gets me is that I am in an area of the country where it is difficult to find a doc that will take cash. I can understand not wanting to take Obamacare, but why refuse cash?
Not educated.
Their deductibles haven’t even been discussed yet.
there were practices that accepted HMO plans, but the doctors rotated and Rachel wanted a relationship with only one physician.

I love these stories of liberals getting it up the ol’ wazoo.
They’re supposed to be adults.
Politicians came and announced that it was vitally important that 30 million more people get health insurance.
The good news was that despite insuring 30 million more people, insurance would cost lest for almost everybody else.
We’d also save money doing it this way.
It doesn’t even make any sense. Any adult that fell for this was just very gullible, or very stupid.
Why complain now? You’ve been had.
Well, he hasn’t removed the “Obama” bumper sticker yet...but he hasn’t replaced it with Hilary 2014 either, which I’m starting to see all over Commie California.
I make a point of gloating about my upcoming vacation to Hawaii whenever I see him and ask about his.
This is someone who rubbed Obamacare in my face for a year as the “great” savior of the healthcare system, while bashing “Bush” as the cause of ALL of our problems.
Some people need to be hit over the head — or, worse, right in the pocketbook, hard, before they “get it” and some never do.
