Some doctors and medical care experts are worried that individuals with Obamacare may begin to see fewer options for quality health care if more and more doctors stop accepting the plan.
Low reimbursement rates for doctors is causing some doctors to say that they can no longer afford to accept Obamacare coverage, according to NPR and the Daily Caller.

But some people are starting to worry that the narrow network problem with Obamacare will leave people on the plan in a bad situation if the trend continues.

To 'fix' this, I can foresee the dictator decreeing that everyone must go under 0bamacare, and no other plans allowed.
I hope, when they mention hospitals, they don’t mean the ER. Because Obamacare was supposed to solve the issue of people without insurance using the ER as a family doctor.
Well yes, of course. That is how they make it work — force EVERYONE to use it.
Everyone except the cronies and friends and the well connected and the wealthy who can afford to pay out of pocket.
The rest of us fools are screwed.
It’s just a matter of time before physicians and hospitals will have no choice. Hayak was right, planned economies always end up with coercion.
Could be by mandate, could be that the critical mass of patients with government controlled reimbursement rates will be reached and it won’t be possible to make a living without taking them. One way, or the other, without repeal, it’s inevitable.
Not to worry - 0b0z0 will write an EO making it mandatory for them to accept ACA.
“To ‘fix’ this, I can foresee the dictator decreeing that everyone must go under 0bamacare, and no other plans allowed.”
Well, that HAS been the plan all along. Single-Payer Government-Run Healthcare! Get with the ‘pogrom,’ Comrade. ;)
Except for Congress and our CIC, of course. Nothin’ but the BEST for those posers.
I cannot WAIT until 0bama’s personal doctor writes a ‘tell-all’ on that freaks physique, LOL!
If you want to use 0bamaCare, fuggedaboudit!
Keep it and die.
Obamacare, the legislation that keeps on failing.
We said we would pay cash, she gave us a nice discount and we ended up paying less that if we had turned it into Obamacare.
Such is the future.
Nobody want’s to accept Hussein0’s zimbabwe bucks?
Or require doctors to provide the care or face stiff penalties if they don’t.
