(5,420 posts)and that is with my insurance. Can't afford to go unless I need treatment badly.
And doctors are trying to make up the loss by finding things to charge the patients extra for. My last visit, my doctor charged me 300 dollars because I had a pap and asked a unrelated question. He charged me for two office visits. I called to complain and they just said they can do that.
Charged for a urine test that I did not do. Also wanted to set up an appointment just for my diabetes meds, tests etc, even though he had already ordered those test in the last few visits I had with him.
I left the doctor. I really really think he was treating me differently because of Obama. No shit. We talked about it. One day he stormed out of the room saying Obama was going to take his guns. And that "everything was Obama's fault."
Now, this is a man who I loved as my doctor. I was very reluctant to give him up. But a doctor can be that blind and stupid? And then overcharge me? I never paid the double visit.
