I’ve been seeing notices in some doctors offices stating that due to costs Medicare is no longer accepted.

Actually, they’re refusing to accept new Medicare patients because of the reimbursement rates. POS like Obama and the other no tale Demonic Party a$$ clowns plan on “reducing costs” by screwing over the providers (and have been for some time), which of course will lead to shortages in the supply of providers. Behold... communism; it fails every time its tried.

Lot of doctors are not taking new Medicare patients...reimbursement sucks. And if you are retired Military over 65 you are on Tricare for Life, which sucks just as bad and is tied to Medicare and admined out of the same agency.

If you are a senior woman looking for a new GYN, you are going to have a lot of phone calls to find one who will take you, even in a large city full of them.

Old people shouldn’t fear. The good ole government will just pass laws that to have a medical license, Drs. need to accept a certain percentage of medicare patients. Then the cost will just be passed on to the rest of us. It’s the American way.
