"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............"

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.

I’m fairly sure it was unintended by the original writers of the Medicare bill, but liberals never look down the road to consider the consequences of their actions. The ‘here and now’ is all that matters to them. They leave all the messes that civilized rational people have to clean up later.............
