I just tried to make an appointment with a physician in St. George (Washington County) who is associated with Intermountain Health Care. I was told that he will not take any new patients who are not enrolled in SelectHealth. I went on-line to take a look at their plans and they have a $6,700 out-of-pocket limit that, I'm assuming, has to be paid for by the patient. The physician would also not take anyone under the age of 65. I'm 67 so that policy doesn't affect me. But with those out-of-pocket expenses, why even bother? They're outrageous. The United States is the only country in the Industrialized West that has no restrictions or regulations on health care costs. It's a national scandal.
