TEXAS HEALTHCARE compared

Why would you assume they'd let you in? Originally Posted by joe bloe

Europe is not bankrupt, a very minor part of it is.

Had the same thing happen to me. I had an acne bump that would not heal and instead of prescribing me an ointment my doctor told me I needed to see a dermatologist. She also told me I had to go elsewhere for a mammogram.

Lots of running around and making doctors rich and what do I get out of it?!

Texas doctors are terrified of getting sued and losing their licenses. I get a lecture by a doctor who is old enough to be my child every time I ask for some Xanax. I am not a junkie and I have no intention of selling it either.

2 years ago I went to a Texas healthcare provider in El Paso and he told me I had toe fungus in the big toes of my feet.
He send me to a podiatrist to take care of it.

I did go to the podiatrist, paid $40 copay and had him look at it.

He told me, I can't give you medication because you have cholesterol medication and then he cut my toe nails.
That was it! + he charged the insurance company $180 for those 10 minutes.

So that is $220 for 10 minutes for nothing but cutting my toe nails.

Then I went to my home care provider in California,

He said this is very common, just quit cholesterol meds 7 days per month and take fungus meds for that month instead and do that for 6 months. The other 3 weeks you can take your cholesterol meds and be fine.

Yes he was right,
Problem solved, and no fungus anymore.

Texas healthcare is BULLSHIT even if you have insurance. Originally Posted by waverunner234
