Dude , I ' m still fucking blown back at the size of one county ! <| sep |> You ' re exactly right about the not paying claims , especially in my state known nationally as the place that Obamacare really failedI had insurance through Obamacare and wanted to go to the doctor for some preventative care type stuff . Pulled up a list of providers on my insurance carriers website and started making calls . I ' d be setting up an appointment and they ' d ask for my insurance and they wouldn ' t take it . This happened for every health care provider on the list provided by my insurance . The list my insurance had of providers that accepted that insurance . None of them did . So now I ' m still in need of glasses , fillings and physical therapy along with some counseling because my insurance isn ' t accepted anywhere because they don ' t pay claims . We ended up cancelling it . I ' ll pay the tax penalty , I don ' t care . I ' m not paying hundreds of dollars a month to not be able to go to the doctor anyway .
