Hundreds in Ohio are losing their doctor due to Obamacare, a local news outlet finds:

"With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, some area medical facilities saying, they're no longer able to use some insurance companies," says the anchor.

The local reporter adds, "Hundreds of people in the Mahoning Valley can no longer go to their trusted doctors, and local officials say the Affordable Care Act is to blame. Doctors from the Mahoning county medical society sat down with U.S. representative Bill Johnson today, discussing their concerns with United Health Care's decision to drop local doctors, including the Eye Care Associates in Beaver Township, from their Medicare Advantage plans. That means patients either have to change doctors or pay out of their own pockets."

One doctor tells the reporters that people are "really scared" at the prospect of having to change doctors.

Thanks, Ohio... along with Florida, Colorado, Nevada and my state of Virginia, throwing down with that evil imp of Satan in Nov 2012 for the second straight election. You five former “swing” states could’ve stopped this mess in its tracks.

Make sure to vote for Boehner so Obamacare can’t be repealed.

Stupid idiots can burn in hell. I really don’t care.

We got Californicated here in Colorado. I did my part and worked for the party etc. But with Denver on welfare and Boulder too high to give a damn. What can you do? That is where the population of Colorado is. The people from California moved here to get away from liberals and lo’ and behold they brought all the liberal nonsense with them.

But Obama said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

And, many of us tried, ScottinVA. But we couldn’t win out against rampant vote fraud in the three major metros that control the state. Look at the vote map of the state, and you will very clearly see that Zero was coronated the second time by Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, with an assist from Dayton and Toledo. The rest of the state is solidly conservative.
This issue can best be addressed by splitting up the state into three new states. Same for the other “swing” states you mention, and a lot of the others, too.
