LA Times finds insureds having trouble finding in-network docs under Obamacare:

Aliso Viejo resident Danielle Nelson said Anthem Blue Cross promised half a dozen times that her oncologists would be covered under her new policy. She was diagnosed last year with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and discovered a suspicious lump near her jaw in early January.
But when she went to her oncologist's office, she promptly encountered a bright orange sign saying that Covered California plans are not accepted.

"I'm a complete fan of the Affordable Care Act, but now I can't sleep at night," Nelson said. "I can't imagine this is how President Obama wanted it to happen."

ObamaCare only promised health care insurance coverage. It said absolutely nothing about treatment.

i'm sure it's not how he wanted it to happen either. But that's how it happened and he was warned about it before it occurred.

Obama only cared about the victory of getting Obama cared passed. What it accomplished, the pain it would cause, or even if the public wanted it were not ignored in his quest for a victory. That is why instead of submitting bills that would incrementally improve the system everything was crammed into one huge bill that no one understood. That is also why it was crammed down people throats to little discussion and not compromises.

Sorry to hear you can't sleep at night. It sound like you are catching up with those that knew from the start this bill was a disaster. Now if we can just get some more liberals to wake up maybe we can get this bill fixed/removed.

So many of the problems with Obamacare should have been apparent from the very beginning, before it became law. I knew it was not a solution but I did not realize just how truly awful it would actually be. I am still stunned by anyone who still thinks Obamacare is a good thing.

So the Los Angeles Times was able to find two people in Southern California after the first five weeks of the program who werent able to find a doctor. Wow this is a real horror story going here. Kind of like someone with Medicare having trouble finding a doctor.
