NYT: Obamacare 'Significantly Limiting' Patient Choices

On Sunday, the New York Times reported that "many insurers are significantly limiting the choices of doctors and hospitals available to consumers" due to Obamacare.

As Times reporter Robert Pear notes, "having an insurance card does not guarantee access to specialists or other providers."

Health insurance companies say that under Obamacare's government healthcare exchanges, the networks will offer a budget rate version of what is available in the commercial market.

"The networks will be narrower than the networks typically offered to large groups of employees in the commercial market," Cigna spokesperson Joseph Mondy said.

This will be a case of you get what you pay for. Select the cheapest insurance, then expect your choices to be limited under that insurance. Buy a better policy and you will have better choices.

I hope every doctor who had had their entire lifes work and career destroyed by liberal Democrats remembers when diagnosing and recommending treatment. Just like the IRS and every other Obama governmental agency discriminates against whites and tea party members--there ARE ways to even the score. If I was a physician I would let liberal Obama supporters experience redistribution of medical treatment.
