The Effects of Obamacare
Today I was told a story (true) about a couple in their 80’s. The couple totally devoted to each other, inseparable. We will call them Mr and Mrs. M…. Not too long ago Mrs. M had a stroke. Her physician ordered an MRI. Put the necessary paperwork through to the Insurance company and waited for authorization. After a few weeks, they received information from the insurance company that their physician’s recommendation for an MRI was denied. (Obamacare). Their physician, concerned about the health of Mr. M, requested authorization for a stress test. He was concerned about the impact on his health of his wife’s stroke. This time the insurance company called Mr. M. There were conditions to this request. Should the test shows that there is problem, the insurance company will pay for the test. However, IF the stress test proves that nothing is wrong, Mr and Mrs M will have to pay for the test. This is Obamacare. This is an example of the problems with this “affordable” health care that is the poster child of the Obama administration. Beware……False Advertising!!!
