By Barbara Boland | October 28, 2014 | 11:28 AM EDT

Over 214,000 doctors won't participate in the new plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA,) analysis of a new survey by Medical Group Management Association shows. That number of 214,524, estimated by American Action Forum, is through May 2014, but appears to be growing due to plans that force doctors to take on burdensome costs.

In January, an estimated 70% of California's physicians were not participating in Covered California plans.
