Elderly patients sick over losing doctors under ObamaCare

Elderly New Yorkers are in a panic after getting notices that insurance companies are booting their doctors from the Medicare Advantage program as a result of the shifting medical landscape under ObamaCare. It also didn't help seniors on Medicare when Obutthead took $700B from Medicare and applied it to Medicaid.

I don't have to read your link, I work in these areas and yes, these people who depend on their Physicians that know them medically inside and out, are very upset. The only ones who aren't are those suffering with Dementia or Alzheimers. To me, this is a crime, as the elderly as well as handicapped and disabled have no one to speak out for them. They just have to "Take it" quietly.

PLUS,,, The booklet that you get with the Doctors on ACA has only one or two doctors for the whole area. These doctors are already swamped, and appts are up to 2-4 months away. Who will fill these needy peoples perscriptions in the mean time as they wait? It's a terrible thing that is happening.
