Waiting for the doctor


Doctors! Have you ever tried to see one without insurance? I called around today to get an appointment with an internist, but none will let me in the door unless I have health insurance. For the self-employed, you are better off being self-insured, unless of course you actually need a doctor. I even asked if we could get an appointment if I walked in with a bucket of cash to pay right away. “No, we only accept patients with insurance,” she responded.

Finally, I found one that would take cash, but they had so many new patients in the first three months of this year, that they aren’t sure if they can even handle a new patient at this point. I guess I’ll just wait.
