Hundreds in Ohio Lose Their Doctor Due to Obamacare
Daniel Halper
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.
