UnitedHealth drops thousands of doctors: Seniors scramble to find coverage

[King]

I like how Obamacare is getting blamed for business as usual actions at insurance companies now.  This is not surprising considering a pillar of conservatism is a romanticized past.

If the pre-Obamacare insurance world was a world where premiums were static, benefits offered were static, and doctors in network were static, there never would have been a political movement for healthcare reform in the first place.

Some people are seeing premiums going up this year, as they did last year and the year before.
Some people are being dropped this year, as some were last year, and the year before.
Some doctors are being reshuffled by HMOs, as some were last year, and the year before.
