Fully-insured woman facing bankruptcy because she was taken to hospital that didn’t take her policy while she was in cardiac arrest
Comment: We were told we needed Obamacare to prevent medical bankruptcy. Instead, Obamacare is causing them. One way is taking unreasonable premiums for policies which then don’t pay anything until after an unreasonable deductible. Another way is through limited prescription drug formularies.

“A fully-insured Wisconsin woman may soon have to file for bankruptcy after she suffered cardiac arrest and was taken, while unconscious, to an emergency room that wasn’t in her [Obamacare] healthcare network.”
“Though Madison’s St. Mary’s Hospital was just three blocks away from where Megan Rothbauer was in September 2013 when she had a heart attack at just 29, it’s not part of her Blue Cross-Blue Shield network.”
