Destroying the private insurance market is the aim of Obama care. Once that’s accomplished we can move on to single payer. UHC is making the smart move here. They’re transitioning from a health care provider to an administrative contractor for government run health care.
Everything the twice unconstitutionally elected admitted foreign born Kenyan has said about Obamacommiecare has been a complete lie - “Affordable” - It’s not affordable. People are seeing their rates double. “You can keep your doctor” - Obviously you can’t.
So how are the folks in Connecticut taking this? That many doctors disappearing must be causing some fallout. I hope it hurts really bad. The voters in that limo-lib state wanted all this so badly!
I wonder if we will see Doctors opening up cash only private practices?
Connecticut is close to NYC. Here’s hoping Big Apple Democrats lose their medical care.
“I wonder if we will see Doctors opening up cash only private practices?”
Yes, there have been multiple reports on this site over the last few months. Of course it will be outlawed at some point by the Marxist for all Doctors except those in DC.
There certainly will be—but that has NEVER BEEN THE PROBLEM. People think that the doctor is the medical care provider—and while he is the heart and the brains you’ve still got the huge body to contend with. That great big hospital—hundreds of millions of dollars in administration, equipment, technicians, maintenance...You’re just talking outpatient care.
I will never forget being in a meeting for my mom with the doctor and social worker.
The doctor turns to the social worker and asks “What can we do?”
I am sure some will
Given the current economic-social make-up of the American population, the short answer is No!
Yes, but he didn't say: " “if you like your doctor, you may keep your doctor”
So, we can expect them to regulated nearly out of existence, with the exception of a few that cater only to the rich & famous.
It's happened already. Google “Direct Primary Care” and “Concierge Medicine”.
Likely to see the transition to "Zero Payer" without stopping at "Single Payer" in primary care.
That is, if we want to see a doctor who graduated from an American medical school. The "free stuff" bunch may get to see a harried nurse or physician's assistant -- if they're lucky.
Does it matter? Either way it’s a lie
This is happening everywhere: industry, education - layers and layers of chiefs and fewer and fewer indians. Scads of paper pushers with no product of process experience who think they know better. They trot out their canned major programs that they learned in “CEO wannabe” MBA school, and check out after about two years to F things up in a higher level position.
So how are the folks in Connecticut taking this? That many doctors disappearing must be causing some fallout.

It would be interesting to know the ultimate impact upon the health services in CT. United Health Care
is one provider of services in CT and they are dumping a portion of their services via layoffs. I’m sure there are
other providers in CT that can step in and pick up the need...
