Default Affordable Care ACT

Before anyone gets upset or offended at the title "I'm not slamming the president or inciting a political debate" but wanted to share my recent experience with this new plan.

A little history: I've been on my employers insurance plan or COBRA for the last year. I am so extremely grateful for this plan and for the kindness of my employer! However, my COBRA benefits will run out in in August and it is very expensive so I thought possibly with the new healthcare plan that I could save some money and switch over. OMG was I shocked.. not only are the prices higher than what I am paying, the deductibles are 7K-12K and out of pocket more than quadruples what I currently pay per year AND not one plan will allow me to stay with my current doctors and that ****** me off more than anything. I consulted with every single PM doctor who has an understanding of CRPS II/Causalgia within a 4 hour radius of where I live who I felt would work well with the rest of my medical team. My team involves doctors from several different big hospitals including one at our states University and NOT ONE of the 8 physicians are covered under any of the plans. I am so angry.. then I decided to see what medicaid offered because I would qualify for that but wanted to stay with private insurance for better options in care.. again NOT ONE doctor is accepting medicaid patients and if I sign up I would have to go to whomever 'they' decide I should see. Utterly stupid!
