ObamaMESS: Woman's Surgery Delayed .. No record of Her Insurance after making Payments for 7 Months

LaTrina Reed says the surgery she needs to correct a painful ovarian condition "is a matter of life or death," but she hasn't been able to get it because of errors in ObamaCare.

She’s missed countless days of work and is nearly bedridden because of the pain.

“I feel like I’m in labor all of the time,” Reed said.

The 49-year-old single mother says she hasn't stopped bleeding since February. She has nearly a dozen growths on her uterus and ovaries. And one twisted ovary, she says, gives her pains comparable to child birth. A hysterectomy and cyst removal would fix Reed's problems, but the surgery costs $30,000.

Until this month, Reed was listed as having no health insurance. But she has paid seven months’ worth of premiums to Nevada Health Link, the market place through which consumers buy subsidized insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

"It's like paying for car insurance and getting into an accident to find out you don't have coverage," Reed said.

Reed says she has also paid $2,100 in out-of-pocket medical costs this year. Her employer contributed $2,500, but the amount doesn't get close to the $30,000 needed. Because Reed's situation isn't deemed immediately life-threatening, she can't be treated by a hospital or emergency room, regardless of her ability to pay.
