It’s even worse than a jammed website, canceled policies, and rising policy prices. The policies may also not be what they seem.

In the first place, exchange policies typically restrict the hospitals and doctors you can use. In New Hampshire, for example, 10 of the state’s 26 hospitals are excluded from exchange policies and this takes out all the doctors affiliated with those hospitals as well.

That’s bad enough, but there is worse. In many of the policies, doctors will be paid significantly less than what private insurance has previously paid or that would be paid in other private policies sold outside the exchanges. This means that if you lose your doctor because he or she is no longer included in the policy coverage, you will not only find your doctor choices limited. You may also find that the doctors who are included don’t want your business.

Who cares?? Unless you are participating why would you care that your choices are limited? Ever shopped around for the lowest price. I guess if you are a Tea Partier on some gubbermint program you think their is an endless supply of taxpayers dollars for Medicare, VA, etc. In this case the gubbermint has decided there isn't an endless supply of tax payer dollars and is cutting costs. Whats wrong with that.

Very interesting. The New Hampshire example is very, very troubling.

Hey, I hear there's a One Trick Pony show down at the local fairgrounds. You should enter because you'd have a damn good chance at winning the blue ribbon.

By the way how many gubbermint programs are the average Tea Partier and his spouse on 5, 6, 7, 8, or more? They don't like to be reminded of how much they depend on the gubbermint do they. Then they complain when someone else gets a hand out. You gotta love the Tea Party..

You really have to find a new line. It's the same old line from you again and again. No proof, of course even though you've been asked again and again.

Don't forget your appointments at the VA, and later Medicare tomorrow...

We have a similar issue in our state as well. It's a problem that I am facing right now as I try to find new insurance for the GREAT policy I had that was cancelled.

You really don't think most of the conservative posters on here don't rely on at least two gubbermint programs??

I really think that you've claimed something for which you've provided no proof. I'm a conservative and do not rely on any government programs. Oh, I pay a crapload in taxes but I'm guessing that doesn't fit the narrative?
