“Yes, sometimes it doesn’t respond to that treatment, we’ll try something else

2020-02-18 21:48:00 UTC  

2020-02-18 21:48:33 UTC  

Turns out it’s cheaper to ignore you than find a new physician

2020-02-18 21:48:35 UTC  

A patient won’t buy that, if you’re being treated for food poisoning you’re going to be mad you weren’t successful treated the first time

2020-02-18 21:48:39 UTC  

Lol

2020-02-18 21:48:44 UTC  

Hence you go to another doctor and file a review of the hospital.

2020-02-18 21:48:47 UTC  

This happens today.

2020-02-18 21:48:48 UTC  

Of course a patient will but that

2020-02-18 21:48:58 UTC  

Nope, your insurance isn’t covering another doctor

2020-02-18 21:48:58 UTC  

This is an issue for the hospital.

2020-02-18 21:49:07 UTC  

The hospital doesn’t care, they have your money

2020-02-18 21:49:19 UTC  

See that’s different, in my system payments are mainly out of pocket.

2020-02-18 21:49:24 UTC  

Lol ok

2020-02-18 21:49:26 UTC  

Insurance is for tragic events, like any other insurance.

2020-02-18 21:49:33 UTC  

Not general doctor visits.

2020-02-18 21:49:35 UTC  

So another doctor is 5x the cost

2020-02-18 21:49:42 UTC  

Ok, so you’re there for chest pains

2020-02-18 21:50:01 UTC  

You only have catastrophic insurance

2020-02-18 21:50:06 UTC  

Do you have a PCP?

2020-02-18 21:50:10 UTC  

Deregulation, an out of pocket system will have affordable prices.

2020-02-18 21:50:17 UTC  

It has varying prices

2020-02-18 21:50:24 UTC  

Doctors can charge what they want

2020-02-18 21:50:30 UTC  

Yes, competition brings it down.

2020-02-18 21:50:38 UTC  

In an affluent area, competition can drive it up.

2020-02-18 21:50:44 UTC  

So answer the question

2020-02-18 21:50:48 UTC  

Do you have a PCP?

2020-02-18 21:50:56 UTC  

No, it drives it down. But prices will tend to be higher than less affluent.

2020-02-18 21:51:02 UTC  

Nope. That’s not accurate.z

2020-02-18 21:51:08 UTC  

You need to learn some economics

2020-02-18 21:51:13 UTC  

But answer the question please

2020-02-18 21:51:45 UTC  

Nonetheless, you go to another doctor of course. But before that, you file a review or complaint with the hospital. Either online, the manager or something else.

2020-02-18 21:51:48 UTC  

Do you have a pcp in your system, yes or no?

2020-02-18 21:51:54 UTC  

A pcp?

2020-02-18 21:51:56 UTC  

Answer the question

2020-02-18 21:51:58 UTC  

Lol Jesus

2020-02-18 21:52:08 UTC  

Ok. You need to do some research about how healthcare works.

2020-02-18 21:52:18 UTC  

Using vague acronyms doesn’t help.

2020-02-18 21:52:21 UTC  

You don’t know what a PCP is, you don’t know what the ACA does

2020-02-18 21:52:42 UTC  

PCP means primary care provider. It’s how we manage HMO’s and assign specialists in America

2020-02-18 21:52:53 UTC  

sophia do you think price transparency will help lower costs?

2020-02-18 21:53:07 UTC  

If you don’t know what it is, you really don’t have a handle on how healthcare works.
