It is curious that The Plan would favor one doctor over another since his patients will continue to seek care, just not with Allient. IMHO it could be one of two reasons, the cost, which may involve an abnormal number of surgeries or the type of care, remember he has a lot of new doctors. I caution you my opinion is just speculation. But before I sign any petition, I feel I am entitled to know why his practice was dropped.
Agree, which is why I said in an earlier post that I wish Casper had posted the letter from UHC on his website. I think there may be more to this than the two reasons you mention, however.
