Boy, just when you think everything thing is fine... I called today to make my January eye and pulmonary tests.... Turns out, due to the expenses of Obamacare, I have now been thrown off my health care in the next two weeks and must find a Medicaid doctor who will take me. I've been on the phone since 9 am... and I am thoroughly discouraged. I give up for now--I'm going to eat cookies and watch tv--I've had it.
Oh dear, sounds like what I have been going through. I think I finally got things settled but for a while I was really anxious and scared. I kept going through the "what ifs" in my mind.
Do you have Group Health in King County? Maybe Humana. I bought a policy through American Seniors and used it to get dental. American Seniors is open to all ages.
I HATE OBAMA CARE!!!! The ordeal that we are being put through is outrageous. That nincompoop Patty Murray is soooo proud of what she has accomplished.
Yes, that's exactly what this is all about--and I'm sorry you had to go through it, too! THe 'Wog had hers cancelled out from underneath her last year at this time, so she's been throught the mill, too. I hate that man, I hate that man, I hate that man; 'Obama' is surely a curseword in this house! I just wish they'd given me some decent notice--you ever tried to find a doc over Christmas and Hanukkah? I'm sure the Medicaid doctors don't want any new clients anyway. 'You can keep your own doctor' Obamacare, my ASS!
Here is a suggestion. Assuming that the Wog has found a new Doc. Could she ask her own Doc to make an exception to accept her Sister? I know the desperation of thinking that you will be left high and dry with nothing. Scott waited till the 6th to decide and he would have let everything go if I had not made the phone call and got the ball rolling.
Sissy goes to Group Health after hers got cancelled--I got her into mine, and I am now being thrown out! I am very upset and depressed. And here I thought things were looking up. All the MEDICAID doctors I called at noon didn't even bother to return my call. If I run out of my anti-spasmotics and Spireva/albuterol, I won't be able to walk to the bathroom. If I don't have my prescription NSAID, I'll be in agony. I'm terrified and am nearly looking for a Right-to-Die-state.
I won't have any help with my blood pressure--not even a rescue inhaler as Obama has made those presciption-only. You can't even buy them in Bartell's OTC. If I use them more them 3-5 times a day, my heart will give out and I have been warned I will go into cardiac arrest.
I don't know what to do if they won't return my calls; I no longer have an Urgent Care, nor hospital to go to if I were to get sick more than 4 x per year; I was in the hospital last year 6-8 times. I am totally out of solutions and am distressed beyond belief.
This is just the end! I can't get help--if there is some--fast enough to make up for my unrefilled prescriptions; I'm sure it takes months and months to get an appointment. I need pulmonary tests NOW. Now, I won't even have any of my lung medicines to help until then... I was going to get a eye test, too--diabetics badly need them, a mammogram, colonoscopy etc.--that's all out now....
I have no idea what to do; there IS nothing to do. This is the end of the road--I don't know what else I can do with my life. It all seems so pointless now... And here, I'd been so hopeful and happy--stupid.
I just have no mental equilibrium when such things happen... though I'm sure certain folks at Lucianne are happier than heck--I see Gerty pinging over here lots and I'm sure they've said a few 'decades' to this end... I'm sure they'd make it worse if they could.
