I’m sick over this for my patients, for friends and family, and for people in a situation like yours. We already have people in TN who can’t get insurance, thanks to the states hesitance to accept the expansion, and we have to fight tooth and nail to get surgeries approved for them...life saving surgeries, not just elective. It’s only going to get worse. There’s going to come a time where I look a patient in the eye and say “I’m sorry, I can’t provide this surgery because you can’t afford it”. We’re damn near there already.
