'Covered' is not the same as 'getting healed'
The die-hard backers of Obamacare insist the Affordable Care Act is a success because more than a million people signed up for insurance coverage who didn’t previously have health insurance.
A story from the New York Post reminds us that being covered by insurance isn’t the same as receiving health care, however. Margaret Figueroa, 49, was forced off the insurance plan she chose by Obamacare regulations. She found new coverage on New York’s state-run Obamacare exchange. She was assured it covered her doctors and medications. She found out otherwise at the pharmacy.
“When she went to order medication, the pharmacists said her name wasn’t in the system. And she said her doctors were not included in her new medical plan.
“ ‘They just don’t have enough doctors. Two of them are full to capacity, and the others aren’t even in my radius. There are some who don’t even speak English,’ the Arden Heights resident said.”
