More than 214,000 doctors will not participate in new plans under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
According to a survey conducted this year by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), a trade association comprised of multi-physician medical practices, “as many as 214,524 American physicians will not be participating in any ACA exchange products.” Reasons abound as to why, but, “chief among them is the fact that exchange plans are more likely to offer significantly lower reimbursement rates than private market plans, confusion among consumers about the obligations associated with high deductibles, and fear that patients will stop paying premiums and providers will be unable to recover their losses”

I'm not surprised. Why would doctors sacrifice their money for the public good. It's not like anyone else does. America is about grabbing as much cash as you can. Damn everyone else. Me Me Me Me Me !!!!
It's a shame we can't just do universal health care. It's not like the capitalist system of health care works. But damn Obama for wanting to try to improve the situation. Poor people should just die. Health is for the rich

• Almost half of respondents reported they have been unable to provide covered services to ACA exchange patients because the practice is
out of network.
• 20% of respondents reported that their practice was excluded from a narrow network that they would have liked to participate in and 10% of
respondents chose not to participate in a narrow network.

My doctor quit taking insurance all together. You pay cash or hit the road.
Seems to me as an outsider,the Obamacare system has benefited a few and disadvantaged many,from what I've read on this site.
