Elderly patients sick over losing doctors under ObamaCare

ObamaCare is making seniors sick.

Elderly New Yorkers are in a panic after getting notices that insurance companies are booting their doctors from the Medicare Advantage program as a result of the shifting medical landscape under ObamaCare...

...  Dr. Jonathan Leibowitz, who serves 30 patients under Medicare Advantage at his Brooklyn practice, said he was blindsided by UnitedHealthcare's decision to give him the boot.

"A patient can't see his doctor? What are they doing!" he asked.

UnitedHealthcare told Leibowitz that because of "significant changes and pressures in the health-care environment," he'd be getting the ax on Jan. 1.

Leibowitz's patients are furious. Alfred Gargiulio, who has cerebral palsy with a seizure disorder, has been seeing Leibowitz since 1993. "Obama had said I could keep my doctor. Now they're doing away with my doctor. They kicked him out! After 20 years, that's not right. We love Dr. Leibowitz," said Gargiulio.

In an interview with The Daily Caller, journalist Audrey Hudson revealed that the Department of Homeland Security and Maryland State Police were involved in a predawn raid of her Shady Side, Md. home on Aug. 6. Hudson is a former Washington Times reporter and current freelance reporter.

A search warrant obtained by TheDC indicates that the August raid allowed law enforcement to search for firearms inside her home.
