[quote=SK in CV][quote=bearishgurl]”We, the People” are now burdened with a healthcare industry which is a burgeoning behemoth of layers upon layers of additional bureaucracy with LESS providers to choose from than before the ACA! [/quote]
I’m pretty sure you mean “fewer” not less. Any evidence to support this claim? Or is it more of your spewed out of your ass bullshit?[/quote]Yes, “fewer” is what I meant. For starters, I personally have lost three (out of eight) of my longtime providers since fall of ’14. They had ALL practiced in SD for a minimum of 40 years, owned their own medical buildings and just got fed up with the low reimbursements which weren’t enough to keep their staffs employed. All three of their goodbye/referral letters to their patients indicated that their difficult decision had been made due to the effects of the ACA.
Two of them are still freelancing as “expert wits” in court but closed down their medical practices. One closed down his practice and fully retired.
Granted, two of these providers were specialists whom I didn’t see that often.
For a data point, I am just ONE person and, after getting these letters, I personally compared their reimbursements from the EOB’s of my marketplace plan against their reimbursements from the EOB’s of my pre-ACA carrier (Aetna), and the differences were stark. I posted that info awhile back on this forum.
