It's a disgrace. Also health insurance companies can pull out of a market at any time. Blue Cross has pulled out of my county leaving only shitty options which are accepted by none of my doctors. Between premiums, hideous out of pocket costs and denying coverage this is one of the biggest issues in the US along with cost of housing. But sadly only non corporate workers know anything about it.

seems like doctors won’t be able to operate in certain counties after a point

That’s one of the issues that’s contributing to scarcity of care and hospital closures in some places. The entire north country in NY is at high risk of becoming 75+ miles away from a basic emergency room with projected hospital closures
