Why doctors are leaving Medicare Advantage Networks

[ihaveaquestion]

13. Similar story for me until last year ...

when my Med-Advantage insurance provider, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, couldn't agree with the major provider in my area on reimbursement rates. It was never resolved and I had to switch insurers. Luckily, I was able to sign up with another company and it's been fine so far. It was somewhat traumatic though and I considered switching back to straight Medicare, but it's not that easy. There's a fine or fee or something for the switch and it wasn't worth it.

It's all f*ed up and I can't wait until the country finally wakes up and accepts that universal healthcare is the way to go.
