Excuse me, but INTERFERE HOW, you frickin' moron? Because they'll have insurance? Does that mean that everyone who has insurance is being interfered with, and we should do away with insurance? (It actually does, because of preapprovals, etc., but that's besides the point - it's the only way people can get health care in this country, for crying out loud!)

so that they can get the best outcomes. Problem is people are all different and react differently to treatment. Add in several co diseases and the plans can contradict themselves. It is a worry.
I just read a great article on it on medscape or web md. I will see it I can find it.
My hubby is a family care doc and he is really happy about the aca even though there are some areas where there is going to be a big fight between the docs and those writing up the standards trying to stick their noses into the care they give. There have been some articles that say that if the doc does not follow the plans for care then they may not get reimbursed. This is not a good thing.
He is so happy that people will be insured. We have paid for meds and diagnostic tests for some of his patients out of our pocket and it is hard as hell to care for people who cannot afford tests or medicines they need.

edited to make this make sense. past my bedtime

You go to a doctor for a problem. He says I will write out a script for "A" but then some punk who took business classes to qualify for his "medical" role in the insurance industry refuses that drug. He has no idea of a patients history,sensitivity to alternative choices etc. The doctor has to make substitutions all the time. The doctor says you should have a certain test or even surgery. He doesn't mind a second opinion but the insurance company comes along and balks at the cost and makes you take unnecessary test before you can take the one the doctor wants you to take.
Yet here they are trying to say that the government is trying to restrict your doctors orders. Where have they been when this refusal game has gone on for years?????

Anyway, Mr. Abbott, how's that closing down abortion providers under false flag going?

I've read a few comments from docs in the DMN complaining about the ACA. I will not be seeing any who make up bullshit excuses about it. There are indeed some imperfections with the law, but they never seem to bring up legitimate qualms. Luckily, all my doctors (except perhaps my dentist) are for it. It's better than the status quo. These same doctors (except said dentist) worked with me when I had no insurance, and even the dentist will work with patients are struggling.

By the way, I love the protest sign that said something to the effect of, "if I want the government in my vagina, I'd f#*k a politician." So true.
