PUP gone on July 1st

[billybye]

Just came from Dr. office. Told me PUP out of business July !st
Called PUP - they said State of Florida is there now and they are being forced into liquidation.
Called Medicare - they did not know, but would call me back in 2-3 days.
Orlando Newspaper said patients would either be switched to regular Medicare or another insurance company if they could find one, but not likely to find another company to take the 25,000 patient in central Florida.
