Over 214,000 Doctors Opt Out of Obamacare Exchanges | CNS News

Over 214,000 doctors won't participate in the new plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA,) analysis of a new survey by Medical Group Management Association shows. That number of 214,524, estimated by American Action Forum, is through May 2014, but appears to be growing due to plans that force doctors to take on burdensome costs. It's also about a quarter of the total number of 893,851 active professional physicians reported by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

I personally know a case of one doctor getting out of the chiropractic profession due to ObamaCare, as well as a recent graduate deciding to work for the CDC rather than open up a practice.

According to the MGMA's report, more than 40% of the doctors not participating in an exchange plan are not doing so because they not only were not included in any network but also because they weren't even approached and offered to join a network.

Sounds like sour grapes to me

LOL. As we know from past experience, no one ever decided to go to the CDC instead of private practice before!

And since a non-insignificant proportion of chiropractors practice way outside the actual chiropractic scope of knowledge, and since the ACA will not pay for that stuff ( really...spinal alignment won't sure diabetes!), I say good riddance.
