If people like Esquilax would just stop getting butthurt....if they would just stop trying to control everyone elses behavior.....problems like this wold vanish like a fart in the wind.
Yes, we should. If you have medicare or tricare, you have insurance, you are covered, your money is the same as any other, and if you can't get any doctors to see you because of your form of coverage, your health problems can get worse and worse, to the point of becoming life threatening. There's more than a few horror stories about veterans under Tricare who've died trying to find medical assistance because doctors kept refusing to see them. This isn't a matter of people being butthurt and controlling behavior; this is a matter of people needing to get medical assistance being denied because of who or what they are. If this was a discussion about whether or not it should be illegal for a doctor to refuse to treat someone because they're black or a female...it wouldn't even be a discussion! We'd all be like "yeah that shouldn't be allowed." Why? Because the fucking civil liberties act! This is the same fucking thing!
This isn't a matter of hurting someone's feelings, this is a matter of protecting people from discrimination. If you don't see what the difference is, I will be glad to go into grand detail explaining what the difference is.

Man, I'm white and even I don't understand white people. To anyone who isn't white, we've gotta seem like the most dysfunctional whackjobs on the planet.
The reason you have a hard problem getting care under Tricare is because the re-reimbursement rates are so low and the government caps the amount of you can bill above that rate.
So what happens. Instead of providers seeing you and balance billing.....meaning they charge you the difference between what tricare pays and what they bill......they simply refuse to see you at all. The result....if you have Tricare (a government program) for some specialities you would be better off not having any coverage at all. Cause if didn't have coverage, the doctor would see you if he or she thought there was a reasonable chance you would pay them. Having tricare, the doctor knows you the most they can collect by law isn't enough for them to bother even seeing you.
Government laws and regulations are full of unintended consequences. Let people be free and you will find that most act optimally. It is very rare that you find yourself in a situation where the crowd behaves so wrongly that government intervention is warranted. However the progressotards.....like Esquilax....will invent problems to justify controlling you. Because in the end that is their goal...They don't give a rats ass about you....they only care about controlling you.
Insuring you have self determination is the only check against people like him.
