More ObamaCare FAIL: Thousands of Doctors FIRED In Connecticut By United Healthcare




But-but, “you can keep your own doctor if you want!” The debacle of Obamacare on the availability of quality doctors has not even been truly assessed yet.
Via WTNH:
In the midst of major changes in health care, United HealthCare 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.
“What the government is looking for is to manage better care by adding a patient centered medical home so that you have a doctor who is totally invested with taking care of every aspect of the patient and coordinating it. This is clearly not a patient centered decision,” said Dr. Michael Saffir, President of CT State Medical Society.

Thank You WTNH and Zip. 

But, but, but, . . . . ObamaCare is going to assure that Everyone in America can obtain Quality, Affordable Health Care.
