I agree with you but add the lower quality of healthcare we are going to have because of fewer doctors and government mandates as to care. Putting government in bed with doctors can never be a good thing for patients. Nor can punishing some hospitals over policy and eliminating charitable hospitals because they cannot adhere to government guidelines in patient care.
0bamacare may tell people they are now covered by health insurance but there is no way 0bamacare can guarantee a doctor will be there to provide it.
Right. And with 18 million added to Medicaid rolls due to Obamacare, access to doctors will be diminished even further. 40% of doctors don’t take Medicaid patients now because the reimbursement rates are so low. Add more users to a deteriorating system will only make matters worse.
Re- less Doctors
My neighbor (and personal physician) is in his late fifties. He said he and many of his peers are considering retiring earlier than planned when Obamacare kicks in. Not only will they get paid even less, they expect a huge influx of patients which will overwhelm their resources.
