--- Quote from: Omega Entity on 27 Jan 2015, 18:25 ---I have insurance that counts as a form of Medicaid, thanks to the ACA. When looking for a primary care physician, my insurers had lists you could access on their websites that tell you who accepts your insurance in your state.
--- End quote ---
When I said only one I could find, I meant the only one listed on their website that actually took it that was in 100 miles of me. There was a reason she was always crowded. Less and less physicians are taking Medicaid, because it pays them absolute crap. The way that Medicaid pays out, there are a lot of cases where a Medicaid patient can cost more for the physician/hospital treating them than the Medicaid will pay, which means that they can literally LOSE money by treating them, unless they give only the bare minimum care, have tiny amounts of overhead, and rush them through.
My mother works in insurance appeals at a major hospital (meaning she appeals denied claims), and I've heard a lot of stories about how a lot of insurance actually works behind the scenes. Just trust me, however fucked you think the US health care system, its worse than that. In a lot of cases, the hospitals are getting fucked as bad as the patients are.

New comic, and I think Jeph may be mocking the people who thought Faye died in the title of the comic...
hedgie:
Hanners looks even worried than usual. Time to break out the hat.
HannahRose:
Teddy bears are always appropriate Hanners. <3
Also, 5 internets says that Faye will name the bear "Patchy" now. :P
