Sick Kids Denied Specialty Care Due to Obamacare in Washington

They will be found treatment quickly.

Unlike private insurance that would deny, deny, deny specialty care until they died.

Ask Antares about that.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? The article states this:

"Administrators at Seattle Children's today said they predicted this would happen, and it's even worse than they expected," says the local news anchor. "Patients being denied specialty treatment at the hospital by insurance providers on the Washington health benefits exchange. Children's filed request on behalf of 125 of their patients. Of those, they say they got only 20 responses, eight of which were denials. Dr. Sandy Melzer says all this comes after reassurances of certain unique specialty cases would still be covered."

Dr. Sandy Melzer says, "Well, some of the patients who were denied are ones who clearly would fall into that unique category. A two-year-old with new significant neck mass that was being evaluated for infection or malignancy, an older child with a chronic severe medical condition requiring multidisciplinary care here, a baby that had a skull abnormality."

The anchor explains, "Children's went ahead and treated those cases anyway, but Dr. Melzer said they can't afford to keep doing that it way."

And it's no surprise because Obamacare does NOT pay for specialists.

Cancer-stricken Sen. Tom Coburn revealed Tuesday that his health insurance under Obamacare doesn’t cover his oncologist, but said he still is receiving excellent care.
“I’m doing well from a health standpoint, got great docs,” Coburn said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday when asked about his health. “Fortunately — even though my new coverage won’t cover my specialist — I’m going to have great care, and I have a great prognosis.”

The Oklahoma Republican’s spokesman confirmed to POLITICO that since the senator enrolled in his health insurance plan under Obamacare, his coverage has been reduced and he lost coverage for his cancer specialist. Coburn will continue to pay out of pocket and see his oncologist, his office said.

Didn't read the story, did you?

The insurance refused to pay, but the hospital treated them anyway.
 
The proper term is "Democare" as it was born and bred deep in Democrat bastions while their presidential shill knew next to nothing about its inner workings and still doesn't. Highly doubtful he has ever read a single word of the act and he certainly has not taken an active part in administrating its rollout as evidenced by his minimal contact with his fall-girl.

The blame should primarily fall on those up for election this November who actively wrote and passed this monstrosity.

You're completely wrong here Jake. My cardiologist isn't covered under any O care provider. Fortunately I can afford to pay the 88% increase so I can still se my specialty doctor. Most can't. they get to die thanks to O care.

Guess what bucko, you were WRONG!

I knew we could count on you to display your unprecedented ignorance and far left partisanship..... :thup:
 
Half journalism. Gotta love it. Who denied the claims?

Questions not answered by the OP:

Did the kids in question have a plan that was purchased on the exchange?

If so, were these kids insured at all before this plan was purchased?

Your problem, dipshit, is I'm a liberal Democrat and have been my whole life. I don't need to lie and for the record I had a six way bypass so I too know what the hell I'M talking about. Yours is just a bunch of hearsay.

And you would be wrong. I voted for Obama the first time, but not the second when I saw the sorts of people he was putting into his Cabinet. Before you make an even bigger ass out of yourself (which, frankly I think is a certainty) you might want to look at some of my posts.

I'm VERY liberal. I'm friends with some of the biggest liberals on this board. (go ahead look it up I dare you)

What I am not is an ignorant, collectivist, progressive asshat.

Clearly, you are.
