They went onto say that for those under age 65 who do not have Medicare and have my United plan, that those United Subscribers can stay. I asked if they will remove themselves from the network agreement with United and they said no. We will just not take United Subscribers with original medicare. My only choice is to accept the Advantage plan or drop my Original Medicare. This only affects people under age 65 who all have Medicare due to disability.

You have another choice - keep your existing insurances and change to a PCP who will accept them. Many of us have done this recently. It's discouraging to have been put in this position, but it can have a successful and satisfying outcome.
