The Obamacare debacle just gets worse and worse. “Unexpectedly,” natch.
Americans can’t keep the plans they like. Period. And many of those lucky enough to sign up for health insurance are facing limited networks of doctors and hospitals.

But that’s not the only reason Obama’s “you can keep your doctor” promise was a lie. Some doctors — “coddled, overpaid” doctors, according to Matt Yglesias — are fleeing the Obamacare rules and restrictions that make staying in practice increasingly difficult.

Democrats also promised you could keep your own doctor under #ObamaCare. Here's why that's a lie, too http://t.co/RZqm8KcncM

You can keep your doctor? Not if your doctor won’t see you now.
Today My doctor that I love & has been our family physician for decades (my parents, me, my child) quit! He says #obamacare has beat him!

My doctor of 20 yrs (a top doc in Dallas) is saying he will close his doors next month b/c of ObamaCare….any questions?

While some are retiring or quitting, others are moving to concierge and cash-only practices.
@weeklystandard @JBRichard50 We lost our doctor already. He became one of those boutique practices to escape Obamacare uncertainties.

@SenToomey I lost my doctor bc of ACA! Why shld he deal with the risk, red tape, and uncertainty when he can go into VIP medicine?

@GuitrPickr Obamacare doesnt guarantee services rendered. My doctor is going cash only. God love her.

@RealJamesWoods My doctor that I've seen for 15 yrs (half my life) moved to VIP. I can't afford the $2500 to keep her.

Americans began losing their doctors even before the failed Oct. 1 launch of the HealthCare.gov marketplace.
#cspanchat My doctor quit because of #Obamacare Happening all over country. #DefundObamacare

My doctor for 23 years is leaving his practice to teach in med school rather than deal with Obamacare. Oh, crap! Now what?

Attention @BarackObama: I didn't get to keep my doctor. She left b/c of Obamacare. Thanks a lot. It's hard enough finding a doctor.

My doctor sent out a notice -she will no longer work with any insurance companies. Cash only. #Obamacare is ruining healthcare. #tcot #ccot

@tedcruz My Doc went Concierge Medicine. @barackobama I can't keep my Doctor. http://t.co/b6cocjI165

#WhatHasObamaCareDoneForMeLately My doctor switched to Concierge services, $20,000 for my family of five. This includes NO services.
— KRenner (@KRenner2) June 7, 2013
Obama lies: I for one couldn't "keep my doctor." He got out — into concierge — while the getting was good. http://t.co/7dwiuaC14s #hewitt

Wait for it:
The “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” press conference in January will be amazing
