After Switching to Medicaid, My Doctor Won’t See Me, Even if I Pay Cash! /u/MagicMadMike No such thing as stupid questions

My primary care physician doesn’t accept medicaid. That’s fair enough. I offered to pay for my appointment out of pocket, but they said that I’m not even allowed to make an appointment at their practice since I have medicaid. They mentioned that medicaid would fine them huge amounts.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this happening? I’ve never felt like a second class citizen before.
