can't seem to process paper applications either.

Paper applications for Obamacare were problematic, too

It's OK, after spending 2 million to tell people about filling paper applications, they only received 14 applications which are now put on terminal ignore by the IRS.

I predicted that people w/ basic medical training on up (Army medics, EMT, PAs, etc) would start bartering their services. I read about such a case just a few days ago.

It will be like the 1800s.

And of course some physicians have gone to cash only.

But the real challenge is for serious issues: surgery, cancer, etc. That's when 21st C medicine is needed...and it won't be there for very many.

Progs are taking the world back in time.

Do they automatically trash Tea Party insurance requests or just permanently file their applications away?

Just today I was thinking that this debacle might bring about renegade Doctors,
but I was imagining more like the outlaw plumber that Robert De Niro played in the film Brazil.

One of our friends has moved to Concierge Medicine, at least partly to free up more time for family, with the tradeoff being that patients have 24x7 access to him.
