This has nothing to do with Obama Care; it is the greediness of Methodist and Dr. Eason's desire to "make a name for himself." My husband is retired military who has TRICARE military insurance, and he was refused care by Methodist because he didn't have another insurance. The transplant coordinator at Methodist told me they wouldn't see my husband because Tricare didn't pay enough. Thanksfully Vanderbilt was available and he has had a successful tranplant; no thanks to anyone at Methodist in Memphis.
