My daughter Gail, 51 years of age had to change her plan in MA. The price doubled and she cannot have her own doctor. ENOUGH about Obamacare. He is nothing but a LIAR. You do remember what he said don't you!!!!!

Sorry to hear that about Gail, I know I would hate to change my doctors, they have been great taking care of me for the 11 years I've been here. I feel lucky to have found my GP and when we have needed to be sent to specialist, I have been very satisfied with all of them.
I remember that he said that Capt. and I will say that was a mistake to say it, but there were probably some that could keep their doctors if they and the insurance companies worked together. But the fact is at times, insurance plans will force you to change doctors. For example here in Springfield, (of course it is different here than the rest of the state, only two major health care providers, Mercy and Cox). Our neighbor who works for MoDOT or his wife who works for the school system, one of their insurance plans (I can't remember which) changed from the Mercy system to the Cox system, so if they didn't want to pay out-of-network prices, they had to switch doctors. This was way long before the ACA. Luckily the other stayed on Mercy so they did not have to switch doctors for the kids.
Funny thing is a former neighbor who lived in our neighborhood and worked for MoDOT transferred to the KC area and they had plenty of choices for doctors under the same insurance plan. Again this was before the ACA.
