Its really interesting though I was told today I have to pay 5k , then supplement with another 5k before I can even try to apply for financial aid which is only 25% off.

I wasnt even told there was a wait at all she just wanted to know if i wanted to move ahead. Its pretty disheartening that you cant even get help until you shell out 10k and then its 25% . Pretty crappy for anyone that needs help and has an income barrier but doesnt qualify for Medicaid. Barriers to access based on income issues: discrimination and I feel like i expected way more from a facility like this.

As if that wasnt bad enough I was told only some providers would even consider Tricare select or standard but not prime and that most providers dont "deal" with Tricare insurances. Military family friendly: nope. Im a vet and a mother of 3 dependents that was a military child: horrible practice I feel Mayo restricting based on income and picking and choosing around service related insurance when dependents dont always have the money on a GI paycheck to afford private insurance. Total discrimination and makes me wonder if care is based on need or who has insurance that pays more.

We deserve better, and I was told this was better: is it?
