when i had kidney stones i crawled into my doctors office
they didn't want me lying on the floor wimpering , so i got shuffled into a room QUICK
he said i wasn't going to die but highly recommend i go to the hospital
so i paid the doc , out of pocket
see he no longer accepts my new insurance ( i got priced out of the blue cross)
when he didn't except my new insurance your forced to try and find some new doctor
and most great doctors are done fulled up with existing patients,
so i just pay him cash for my visits
its about 6K to 8K out of pocket for kidney stones roughly
or my 10k deductible
i went home and layed in the fetal position for 6 and a half days
no Medicaid ..... i "make too much " according to the TAX return i have to file
