I decided fuck it I'm going to pay cash to visit a dr of my choice that can see me right away. I called a dr and they told me it's illegal to pay cash and for them to accept cash from someone who already has Obama Care. They also told me I risk losing my insurance if I pay cash and it's against the law to pay for my care if I have insurance. I told them it was an urgent medical matter and they said sorry nothing we can do!

Dave this is not the fault of Obama Care. It's the fault of Americans voting for politicians who are in the pockets of the Healthcare industry.
2 weeks ago I had an appointment with my hematologist who monitors my blood levels since I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. She found all was fine except for a high Creatine level which indicates a problem with my kidneys. she sent me over to the specialist department in the hospital, who saw me then and booked a return appointment in 30 days to see if it had cleared and to bring in Urine Samples. Cost $0.00 becauseI've paid all my life and now retired.
This is usual in a country with a decent National Health Service. It's not the first time I had a problem arise, hemorrhaging blood due to an ulcer, cancer, Celiac Disease, badly working Lymph glands lowering Iodine levels in my blood. I live in the Czech republic and at 66 getting a few problems. I'm glad I don't live in te US, I would be dead or bankrupt by now.
Blame needs to aimed at the culprits the guy who tried to fix the problem.
