Seems like UHC holds all the cards. I really feel bad for these young doctors and their staff facing such upheaval and uncertainty.
Could it be that UHC is trying to cut their costs, because they've already lost numerous customers...due to their previous actions?

If so, it sure seems pretty dumb to me to make up for one bad/detrimental decision...by making another.

It's analogous to golf in that if you take a risky shot that doesn't work out or made a bad decision in course management, the last thing you want to do...is to follow it right up with another.
