I will keep this short as I am tired but I was informed today of something so distressing.
Thanks to health care changes (AKA ObamaCare) I have lost my general practitioner. If I wish to stay with my doctor, I will have to pay about $2,000 a year in addition to my insurance. I have seen this doctor since I was 18 and now I no longer will have a private physician. I do not have the money to pay this steep rate.
The letter explaining this new cost, details that he has to classify the type of care that he practices which is considered 'old school'. This type of care requires additional fees and costs. I guess having a doctor sit with you and answer all your questions is just too inefficient and personal for America's new system. Humph.
Months ago, I was without insurance. Now, I have no doctor :(
meh what can i say?
ReplyDeletethat is unfortunate to hear.
On the brigth side, you dont plan to live in fresno so you will, in any case, have to change your gp.
I havent had an appointed gp in years, i m a guy so i guess it s a bit different..
Well we aren't appointed gps. We get to chose. I guess if you want a good one you just have to pay extra. It used to be solely based on whether you had good insurance but as insurance isn't so significant now one has to begin writing the checks to the doctor.
