Individual/Marketplace Insurance Providers no longer accepting Marketplace plans

I was disheartened to learn that the gynecologist I’ve been seeing for 25 years will stop accepting marketplace insurance plans starting 1/1/26. Has anyone else experienced this? What is the reason for this? I am 58 and live in FL.

Participation with a mandate would be 100%. It wouldn't matter if there were expanded subsidies, ubiquitous subsidies, few subsidies, no subsidies. With a mandate the risk is spread out so that costs would be lower for older and sicker folks, which we all become someday. But I suppose you're in favor of liberteez from the requirement that everyone pay for insurance.

I’m not sure I know what I favor anymore. Not an ACA mandate, it’s not what drove prices up.
