Three patients limp into three different doctors’ with the same complaint....they all have trouble walking and may require hip surgery..
Patient 1.
Is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day, and has a time booked for surgery the following week. The total cost for the operation is $2400.00
patient 2.
Goes to the e.r. Is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day, and has a time booked for surgery the following week. Gets no bill for copay or deductible. In fact gets no bill at all. Cost for this patient $0.00.
Patient 3.
Sees his family doctor -after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a specialist. Gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week, and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then, pending the review board's decision on his age and remaining value to society. Gets bill for deductible which is $7,500.00 and has a copay of 20% which equals $6,000.00. Total cost for this citizen $13,500.00.
Why the different treatment for the three patients?
Patient 1. Is a golden retriever taken to a vet.
Patient 2. Is an illegal alien.
Patient 3. Is a senior citizen on obamacare.
In november.....if hillary
wins the election:
We'll all have to find a good vet!
