Meet Maria Galvez of Virginia. She thought that she and her daughter were covered by ObamaCARE after she signed up last week. Maria Galvez got a rude awakening though. Galvez went to Inova Healthplex facility and they couldn’t even tell if Galvez’s insurance was active or not. She walked out coughing, failing to get the chest x-ray she thought she would get because of ObamaCARE. Because she couldn’t get her chest x-ray from ObamaCARE, it would cost Maria Galvez $500 to get one. She couldn’t afford that. As usual, it’s the British media covering this story as the American media completely ignores it.
In place of quick service and painless billing, these Virginians are now facing the threat of sticker-shock that comes with bills they can’t afford.
‘They had no idea if my insurance was active or not!’ a coughing Maria Galvez told MailOnline outside the Inova Healthplex facility in the town of Springfield.
She was leaving the building without getting a needed chest x-ray.
‘The people in there told me that since I didn’t have an insurance card, I would be billed for the whole cost of the x-ray,’ Galvez said, her young daughter in tow. ‘It’s not fair – you know, I signed up last week like I was supposed to.’
The x-ray’s cost, she was told, would likely be more than $500.
