Yes, I just visited Colony Health care center this morning and asked about what is going to happen when my wife turns 65. I was told she has to get united health care or find a new doctor. I retired from a company which supplies medical insurance for both of us. [BCBS ] So now, after we helped them get started, and having a relationship with our doctors for three years they tell us to find a new doctor. Very sad, so much for the Hometown Doctor. I wonder if this is Mr. Morse's vision.
