My favorite from this past summer, was when I waited over 2 months for an appointment and the day before the appointment the office called me and said they'd been bought out and didn't take my insurance anymore. I had to find another place and wait another 2 months for that appointment.
I just waited a month for an appointment at a new doctor, nothing special. Had to spend an entire afternoon calling around to find her, even given my insurance's list of providers. And since we're on Obamacare, I don't know if I have insurance anymore, haven't been brave enough to open the latest letters.
A couple years ago I'd called a doctor's office to set up an appointment because I hadn't seen a doctor for ten years prior to this. The soonest they could fit me in was 8 months out.
In that time span of waiting for that appt, I was laid off from my job and had to call and cancel it because I had no insurance anymore. It was the most defeated I'd felt in a long time.
Ive been getting my anxiety meds from this online medical clinic for a few years. Didn't need insurance just paid a monthly fee and I could talk to health professionals for whatever health issue I was having. A few months ago I was notified they were bought by an insurance company so now they can only serve customers with that insurance. So just fuck everyone that used the service before no more meds for them !!
i was under state subsidized healthcare, i waited four months for a specialist, a charge nurse just hung up because "she was waiting for someone else" and when i got to appt wait several more hours, and was forgotten in a waiting room for hours.
