"Something doesnt ring true about this article. In my state, all an insurance co has to do is withdraw from the Medicare Advantage program. My 2013 insurance co just did that for 2014. Other insurers have dropped out in previous years, and some new ones have been added in recent years."
I had the same feeling. I suspect that it's not accurate to say that the doctors were "fired" or given "pink slips," but that the network is no longer reimbursing them for certain services. Just guessing . . .
