I have gone to the same doctor for several years. This morning I went to see him for a sinus infection and bronchitis....he has treated me for this before. This time he looked at me and said he had to give me less treatment because of Obamacare and the insurance companies. They are beginning to score doctors on how much they spend treating a patient for different conditions. With my age of 60 and with a history of bronchitis/pneumonia he treats my aggressively. Three different shot, breathing treatment and a couple of prescriptions. Because I am a long time patient he did one shot and the breathing treatment for free.
I do not have a cheap rate insurance plan, it is Blue Shield and I not only buy own policy, but also for my 48 employees and their families. The insurance companies are now mandated to cover everyone with pre-excisting conditions, free birth control and morning after pills. But real sick people are being denied the care that will make them well. This is just the start of Obamacare. This year our rates went up 15% and my agent says they will be up another 35-40% next year. This thing is going to get real ugly real soon. Maybe next time I go to the doctor I will get my end of life counseling. Enjoy Obamacare everyone.
