They had to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.

To: Chode
I hope that’s not meant to excuse the crony capitalism of BC/BS and Tufts, both of whom are claiming to be expanding while UHC is contracting.

What is NOT being cut are exec salariesGo ahead, keep blaming the insurance companies for what our congress did.
If you think this is bad wait till we're all enrolled in a government run (think VA hospitals) health care plan.

Fake indignation. Every time they “fix” something it just gets worse so then they “fix” it again - and continue on adding to their personal millions meanwhile.
Congress is just a scam.

To: ladyjane
Both can be blamed pretty much equally at this point.

The good doctors are fleeing ObamaCare which is on par with the rationed care philosophy of it from the supply control side.
All that will be left are turd world doctors imported on H1-B visas to do the work.

I actually could have over 50% subsidized Medicare Part B through the town in MA where I taught. It’s such a convoluted mess with Romneycare and coverage being handled through a statewide agency, deductibles, filing for reimbursements, copays and the percentage I’d have to pay, it’s not worth bothering. Changing the number of doctors except when notified at the annual signup window is underhanded and unfair, especially for those who can’t easily get to more distant locations.

Isn’t United AARP’s “property?” I.e. you get United when you go through AARP for supplemental Medicare coverage
To: Olog-hai
no, this is adding onto how they do and or don't authorize surgeries, their allowable fee schedule, their poor history of ontime payments and THEN their cutting back of in network docs and facilities...

Re: “UnitedHealthcare plans to cut up to 700 Massachusetts doctors from its physician network for seniors enrolled in its private Medicare plan.”
2012 Election:
Massachusetts Voters
Age 65 Or Over (90% white)
Obama 56% - Romney 43%
To: Rusty0604
ALL IS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN
Step #1,destroy the nation's private insurance industry (including the non profit "Blues" and HMOs).
Step #2,piece of cake!
To: Jack Hydrazine
Look at all the Muslim doctors employed in Britain’s National Health Service, seven of whom tried to blow up Heathrow airport in a terror attack. Obama will be a hero in the Muslim world after he destroys the U S .
