There will always be some unless they are forced by law or competition. If too many doctors go that route they won't have enough patients to go around

Did the company give you that reason, or are you/she speculating?

That is the reason they gave in the letter they sent informing her they were dropping her. I called the state insurance person to report it and see if there is anything we can do, but they said insurance companies are allowed to drop you if you file 2 claims within a 3 year period. It seems ridiculous, seeing as how small the claims were.

I'm not saying I completely agree with Obama Care or even that It is the right direction for the country. However I believe that Health Care is what gives America it Leading Edge. For instance when I was a kid my mother bought this pc and it had, a tom clancys flight simulator on it and it had a game where you were the doctor and you did operations. While I was good on the flight simulator the operation game was difficult. Being a kid I just went in there and chopped them up, that may seem crool and creepy however I actually diagnosed myself with an appendicitis and had a REAL surgery done on me. So the point I'm getting at is that I am now a diagnosed bipolar/ skitzo and wouldn't it suck to wake up one day and realize you where in the middle of a surgery or even so the meds I'm on now are state of the art.. simple put WE CANNOT AFFORD TO GET IT WRONG with Health Care. And the new legislation that is being rushed through may be just a quick fix it. Tieing a turrnicite to a head injury will kill the patient and I'm afraid that's whats going on in Washington. The don't realize how the wounded in America are being led like sheep to the slaughter. And that may sound a bit far fetched however did anyone really read the new health care laws. Please feel free to correct me.
