I would go to doctor and pay no more than 20 dollars. Now I pay the entire charge. So who lost here?
More bullshit.
Now is when you should explain what happened to you....with some detail.
What I would like to know is the name and details of the insurance plan that you have supposedly lost due to the ACA. Premium and deductible, type of plan, etc.
If you can't do that or refuse.....you've left us no option but to dismiss your story as bullshit.
And...why are you currently uninsured? Anyone can buy an affordable insurance plan from private insurance companies. The enrollment period is open. If you need some help finding a plan, I'd be happy to assist you. Call it a Christmas present.
