Although these cuts will not directly lead Medicare clients to pay more or lose coverage, they will end with many doctors and hospitals refusing to treat them at all.

That is what many, many people (mostly liberals) do not understand. A doctor does not have to accept Medicare patients. Many have already stopped taking on new Medicare patients. The unintended consequence is there will come a time in the very near future when a Medicare patient will not be accepted............

If I look into the crystal ball, I see many foreigners, some who are illegals, giving up their hack licenses and taking the Everlyn Wood Speed Doctor course, with a focus on senior medical care documentation.

I doubt the consequences are unintended, but beyond that, there is already a growing percentage of doctors who won't take Medicare patients and a larger percentage who won't take new to their practice Medicare patients.
