"In the midst of major changes in health care, UnitedHealthCare has sent thousands of pink slips to Connecticut doctors.
Termination letters went to physicians caring for Medicare patients. Those letters were sent out to doctors caring for 'Medicare Advantage' patients. It's a plan, marketed to Seniors to provide additional services through UnitedHealthCare.
A mix of primary care and specialty doctors are affected by it. And it comes at a questionable time.
Open enrollment for Medicare starts next Tuesday, and it's still not clear at this time as to which doctors are still in the United network.
The Connecticut State Medical Society is fighting back. The biggest concern is patient access to healthcare."
Analysis: Budget talk ideas delay, don't resolve | Connecticut | onPolitix
Thousands of people are getting an early welcome to the age of no healthcare but health insurance for everyone. This isn't the first example and it will not be anywhere near the last. Obamadon'tcare is a bad idea and bad ideas do not get better with time.
For your sake, I hope you never get sick or hurt because Obama and the Dems have set up a plan that destroys healthcare. Not to mention the budget and jobs and....
The medical society said the American Medical Association is investigating “similar situations in other states.”
It hasn't gotten through yet that this is not the ACA nor have you shown any connection to this being caused by the ACA.The results of the bad idea of Obamadon'tcare is not and will not be limited to one state. Hope everyone is in good health.

No correlation, no causation.
Oh come on, why bother with facts when you can just blame Obama for everything. It's easier that way.
"In the midst of major changes in health care, UnitedHealthCare has sent thousands of pink slips to Connecticut doctors.
UPDATE: In an email statement, UnitedHealthCare spokesman Ben Goldstein told News 8, "With the many changes happening in health care, we are building a network of health care providers that we can collaborate with more closely to have the most positive impact on the quality of care for our members. We are prepared to help our members transition to new providers. Members with questions are encouraged to call the customer service number on the back of their member ID card for more information."

Umm....Right here from the article: "A mix of primary care and specialty doctors are affected by it. And it comes at a questionable time. Open enrollment for Medicare starts next Tuesday,"
When expenses go up a business has to increase revenue or cut costs. Obamadon'tcare has caused expenses to go up, a lot. Figure it out.

You do know that Medicare enrollment mentioned is an annual thing, right? Has been for many years, as people need to sometimes change plans and others become of age to get onto the plan? Nothing to do with ACA, timing is simply similar because it's nearing year end.Right here from the article: "A mix of primary care and specialty doctors are affected by it.

Last I recall Obama is not at fault for anything, it's always someone else fault.

What amazes me most besides the obvious ignorances mentioned above, it that not one conservative is mad at the insurance company that has made a choice to do this. Somehow it's implied that the government forced this choice on them. Because, of course, choosing to make more money just seems be a better choice for conservatives than healthy parents and grandparents. The Me, me, Mine! generation is at the helm.
I'll tell you what, conservatives, I'll change my mind if you'll provide for free, safe abortions, and free, humane euthanasia for any adult that wants it. At least this way, I'll know that in a small way, many will have relatively quick painless deaths compared to what they'll face under the health/insurance regime we've lived under to date which the conservatives want to both return to and ease regulations and/or penalties associated with the same.
The Medicare Supplemental plans have been around a long time, not anything new. That's exactly what this OP is discussing, not Medicare but the Medicare Supplementals. The farce is strong within in you. Bless your heart.Yes, I know that. But it has plenty to do with the ACA because people that sign up for Medicare will want one of the supplemental plans that go with it. Which is covered under the ACA.
The question is, for people who aren't all me me me, is if not, what are those that my tax and/or insurance dollars help take of going to do? No bleeding heart here, just seriously. Are they supposed to die in the streets? Are we supposed to continue as tax payers to be drained at ER rates instead of insurance rates? I'm sorry but any mathematical competent libertarian would see that ACA is not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot more fiscally responsible and will cost less tax dollars than what we have had. But it seems that libertarians and republicans don't believe in responsibility of the government to the people who pay taxes, but instead believe in the responsibility of the government to the employers of We, the People. I guess it's a reflection of how much all libertarians and republicans love their bosses.... yeah, right.it's interesting that the only 2 facets of healthcare you bring up is abortion and euthanasia..... very very odd priorities you have there, to say the least. i'm really not sure I buy your excuse that regulations/laws don't cause companies to make decisions like this.... in fact, I know I don't buy it... it's balderdash. while you are trying to blame greed and "me me me" for all this, I think you need to take fiduciary duty into consideration...it doesn't make for a sexy political statement, but it does explain why many of these decisions are made.... as an aside ,fiduciary duties are the strictest duties of care recognized and enforced by our legal system.... it's not wise to ignore it.

Can you tell me exactly how this is linked with Obamacare?
