It Looks Like ObamaCare Won't let you keep your Insurance Plan or Doctor After All

Well, it looks like all the rhetoric about keeping your doctor and the insurance plan you like was strait up lies.

"There's nothing in the bill that says you have to change the health insurance you've got right now. If you were already getting health insurance on your job, then that doesn't change."

Yet hours before he uttered that line, the Boston Globe reported that Harvard Pilgrim Health Care was canceling its Medicare Advantage coverage specifically because of new regulations imposed by Obama's health care law.

The decision "was prompted by a freeze in federal reimbursements and a new requirement that insurers offering the kind of product sold by Harvard Pilgrim -- a Medicare Advantage private fee for service plan -- form a contracted network of doctors who agree to participate for a negotiated amount of money. Under current rules, patients can seek care from any doctor," the Globe reported.

I would be willing to bet that Harvard Pilgrim will not be the only insurance company that will drop or revise their plans as they get closer to the ObamaCare deadline. I can see vast swaths of people having to change their health insurance company or have to scramble for a new doctor going forward. I guess the change we were hoping for came in the form of what doctor and insurance you have.
