[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am scared to DEATH right now. I had some weird flashing in my eye, and when I looked it up, it said it could be a retinal detachment. Problem is, my Obamacare plan has no retinologists, so I will have to go to an ophthalmologist - who cannot do the repair surgery. If it IS a detachment, I will have to pay for the surgery out of pocket, and it will be a FORTUNE. I am really, really worried. The flashing stopped, but I will call a retinologist tomorrow and just pay out of pocket to see him. If it's a detachment, I am SCREWED. I will be paying off the surgery for at least five years.

I looked up some retinologists, and while none took Obamacare, they did take Medicaid and Medicare. That means that poor people, covered under Medicaid, can get necessary surgeries that middle-class people with Obamacare policies cannot. And we are paying a fortune for these policies, while our taxes pay for the poor people on Medicaid. Same with the foreigners taking advantage of the Medicare program. They too can get this surgery covered.

Seems the only people who cannot get medical treatment they need are the middle-class people on Obamacare, paying taxes.

Medical insurance policies including catastrophic, typically don't cover vision or dental, and that's been the case whether pre-ACA or after ACA.  You typically need a separate vision and dental plan and it's been like that for a very very long time.  It has nothing to do with ACA.

The GOP proposal would leave you to pay for your vision issue out of pocket, however much that is.  Hope you have enough in savings because that's their plan for you.  Good luck and sorry for your misfortune.[/quote]

Thanks for the well wishes.

But you're wrong about the vision. Vision isn't covered, true - but that's stuff like glasses, refractions, or optional things like Lasik. Retinal problems are considered medical and would have been covered pre ACA. Liberals don't want to admit it, but the Obamacare plans are very spartan. [/quote]

You know what’s spartan?  Healthcare for those with no insurance ar all before Obamacare, which led to crazy increases in costs for everyone. [/quote]
