This is a myth the Health Insurance Industry kept repeating until the public started believing it too and took up the chant.
My real world experience has been quite the opposite. Before I was retired I had Blue Cross Blue shield coverage and had to be sure my doctors were in their network, which drove me and my associates nuts because doctors kept drifting in and out of their network and we had to keep consulting the thick revised lists they constantly mailed out to us.
Now I have been on Medicare for years and am never told what doctor or specialist I can go to, and I am free to go to any doctor I want.
Why do people keep chanting that under so-called Obamacare the government will be in charge of what doctor you can go to when this have never been true under Medicare?
Simply because the health insurance industry has spent millions spreading this lie which has no basis in fact, and drilling it into your heads.
