(1,254 posts)an important point. Even though 5% percent have been impacted in some way, doesn't mean in a worse way, but that is how its being presented in the media. These people whine about losing their insurance. They didn't. They are being offered enrollment in their insurance companies' new plans or they can shop. No one has lost the ABILITY to get health insurance. When Obama said you could keep your doctor, you can. There are several ways. Of those 5% whose plans were cancelled and replaced by new insurance policies, how many lost access to their doctors and how many of the new plans continued with the same network of doctors? Not everyone lost their doctors. And if some people actually lost their doctors, they can call their doctor and find out what insurance companies their doctor is working with and sign up with that insurance company. Worse comes to worse, pay to see your doctor out of your own pocket. The ability to see your doctor has not been taken away from you but insurance companies have say over whether they will or will not pay for that for you.
