After Insurance company sent lists of participating cardiologist 20 names. All of them declared they do not take this insurance any longer and the provider lists were not valid any longer.

.Had to get a Medicare person to intervene to finally found a doctor that takes the plan. Is this a foreboding situation of thing to come down the road. New enrollment starts in Oct. Maybe it is time to look elsewhere?

My husband's cardiology practice just sent out a letter refusing coverage from certain insurance companies (one of which we have as a supplemental with Medicare). I'm not sure what this is a sign of.

Maybe there is something in the wind. My cardiologist belongs to a group.
I have learned everyone connected to the group, does not take the insurance as well.

Yes, it's just the beginning of the new healthcare plan A/K/A Obamacare.

The supplemental plan we have, we were told by my oncologist three years ago, is on the axis of evil.

With Obamacare, the insurance companies are going to be hauling bags of money to the bank.
