Stop Insurance Companies From Undermining the ACA by Narrowly Defining Provider Networks in Exchange Plans.

Created by D.S. on May 19, 2014

President Obama has stated: "In the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one should go broke just because they get sick." Insurance companies have greatly undermined the intend the Affordable Care Act by, you have guessed, making it unaffordable to receive quality care through an exchange plan. This is how it works: insurers have narrowed health care provider networks to exclude the most prominent medical groups and hospitals. Now, to be able to continue getting quality care, we must pay out-of-network co-payments plus the difference between billed costs and "maximum allowable costs" set artificially low by insurance companies. This deliberate practice undermines the purpose of the ACA: affordability. Please compel insurance companies to expand provider networks to pre-ACA levels.
