“Back alley” Health clinics, off the grid, on on the way. Concierge Physicians will be the norm. The rest will be staffed by the DREGS of orur medical schools.
Better start raising chickens ... for barter for medical services.
To be clear the doctors are not “fired” from practicing medicine, they were just removed from the United Healthcare network. Still sucks for the patients who are no longer covered with that Dr.
My doctor and his group were also fired. that is, the contract for next year was not signed.
I don’t believe United fired the Doctors but that the doctors groups found the terms unacceptable. In my case, a very substantial portion of the groups income comes from various United patients. The loss of revenue would be large, especially since it will go to one of the two major competitors Humana or Blue Cross blue shield.Years ago when it became necessary to signup for medicare and study the situation I asked my medical group if they had input. After all, they had to deal with it all. They hedged but said many in the area find United Medicare Advantage to serve their needs. I had already pretty much decided but that cinched the deal.
Last year I panicked at the same tactic and rushed to find a new plan. Literally hours after I signed on with Humana, they settled. I cancelled Humana and re upped with the United Medicare advantage which is outstanding.
I’m optimistic it will be resolved if the same problem exists for United in several locations.
I just saw the UnitedHealthcard ad from AARP on TV. It states that you will be able to see ANY DOCTOR THAT ACCEPTS MEDICARE. Something does not smell right in Connecticut.
Isn’t United Health Care the provider for AARP? I am 70 and my wife is 66. We don’t belong to AARP. Never did like them or their policies.
United Healthcare was force unionized by SEIU and then pushed into primary care for AARP.
I suspect this has something to do with it.
Democrat-designed Holocaust, ya think?
