I’ve just moved to Philadelphia and thus I qualify to change health care plans on the exchange. I don’t have any doctors here yet to use as a way to choose.

It looks like I can choose between Ambetter, Cigna, independence Blue Cross, and Oscar. I will probably choose a bronze level plan, but which company will give me a reasonable choice of doctors/facilities? Thanks!
