My guess is that most of the new ACA plans went at doctors the same way as Medicare does i.e. "we'll pay you x amount and that's it take it or leave it". This amount is usually way below the market rate for services rendered thus causing the doctors to say "go fuck yourself". Before now, at least in my understanding, the insurance companies would negotiate a better rate with the doctors, but not issue ultimatums like the federal government.
