Fox News' Latest 'ACA Horror Story' Is United HealthCare's Fault

No matter who is to blame, trust Fox to blame the ACA. It's just how they roll.
It looks like Fox News has found themselves a genuine victim. Annette Frey is not a victim of the ACA, but she is a victim nonetheless. There is no question that Frey is having some real issues with her health insurance and has every reason in the world to be frustrated.
Her story
Frey is a cancer survivor who found herself in a vortex when her insurance company cancelled her insurance because it wasn't compliant with the ACA. She did her homework and went looking for a new policy on the New York health exchange, but she had some very specific requirements. She wanted a policy that included her doctors in their coverage network, and she undertook the due diligence to make sure that whatever policy she selected would include her doctors. Ultimately she settled on a policy issued by United Healthcare -- the most expensive on the exchange -- because she was able to verify that her doctors were 'in network.'
Continuing on...
Once she picked a plan that included her primary care physician in late December, she was then told she couldn’t actually use the insurance for several weeks. When Frey pushed back, she was then told she would be able to see her doctor for a Jan. 8 appointment.
“I was assured that everything was ok,” she said. “I said I needed confirmation I was insured and could see the doctor and that I needed to know that to be able to sleep at night.”
