No Medical Insurance, No Medical Care!

Why is it a big secret that if you don’t have good medical insurance, a doctor won’t see you? This is somthing that’s very conclude to home for me and I’m sure for others who have experenced the same thing I have. It wound to call to try make an appointment for a doctor because you are sick and they asked, “What Insurance Do You Have? ” If it’s not Blue Cross, Aetna, Humana or some well known insurance, they tell you; “NO”!

I knew for a long time now that doctor’s don’t want to except Medicaid (Site Government Insurance For Coarse Income) because they say they don’t get paid; and if they do receive a payment, it’s penny’s on a dollar. But now it’s Medicare too!

I am on Disibility and have had Medicare for years now. I also have Medicaid as my secondary insurance. I have never really had a problem with Medicare; I have had problems with Medicaid in the past before I was eligible for Medicare. It hurts when you go to a doctor and they tell you that they haven’t received a payment in 1 year; they next time I approach in, can I bring at least $400 dollars to form toward my account? I’ve been there and this was what was asked of me!

So now, they just won’t except Medicaid period! What is it to do when there is NO doctor in your area you can see when you’re sick? Doctor’s get mad if you go to the ER for a cold or something that could have been taken care of with a doctor’s appointment!

Recently I’ve been very sick; I can’t get my blood pressure down. I called all over Joliet to try get into a doctor! I went down the list in the Yellow Pages, I couldn’t find one doctor that would except Medicare! Medicare? WOW! And the only one that did except it, they told me since I had Medicaid as 2ndry, they couldn’t take me. I CRIED LIKE A BABY! My GYN doctor told me last month that they stopped taking patients with Medicare as well due to non-payment!

I’m can’t see a GYN for female issues anymore and can’t find a Internal Med doctor for other issues! What are we to do? We can’t get out to other places; Maywood or Chicago.

They wonder why we are die’n at an early age! We can’t get the exams that’s needed to Dx problems like Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Prostate Cancer, and other major things.

We realize that rich people could care less about us! They don’t have a problem getting treatment because all they have to do is perambulate in and pay.

There is no No Middle class anymore. You either have it or you don’t!

Another example of not having medical insurance is: I had a baby premature 3 years ago; 6 months/3 weeks. Instead them flying him to Children’s Memorial Hospital from Joliet; in the middle of rush hour, they send by ambulance. They next morning, when I called ot see how my baby was doing, I was told he needed a blood transfusion. I gave them the okay but asked why was it needed. I was told that he could be bleeding on the brain or he just may have low blood. They didn’t take him in for a MRI till Monday morning. My son bleed on the brain from Saturday to Monday; it was too leisurely for him. When I got them call to reach in, they had to talk to me; it was a very cold/not caring squawk over the phone. I have never been on the Northside of Chicago; I had to find someone to drive me there. They told me it would be best to just let him die; he would be no good to me or himself in life. I had to make the hardest decision in my life to pull the race on my son. A day I will never forget.

I went in the hospital that Friday and had to have an emergency C-section. No one came to change me or my covers; I kept asking for pads, nothing. I had to call a friend from far away to have her bring me pads; but by that time it was Sunday; I had to push myself out of bed and try clean myself up.

I had another baby last year that died as well; I couldn’t/or they wouldn’t give me proper medical care till it was too late!

I could tell you more but I will leave it alone.

This subject should be an open peek to the government!
