But, but, but he is a rich doctor. He is just being greedy! //sarcasm

My high school friend is my internist. He had add two people to his staff to deal with the additional paperwork. He stopped taking Medicare years ago because the compliance would have meant more staff, for 60% of the revenues.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure this out.

Only a matter of time before medical providers will be required by law, regulation, or fiat to opt in. Their option will be not to practice within the US. Primary healthcare will be delivered by mid level providers and paramedics in the not to distant future.

That’s what happened in Brazil.

When we were there, we could use the government doctors, or we could use the private practitioners.

We used the private practitioners.

Here in Southern California MediCare rates are considered the creme de la creme in terms of reimbursement and have been for the last 10 years. If I could get reimbursed something north of MediCare I would feel like a pig in sh@t

I just received notice from my Medicare Supplement insurance that my orthopedic doctor will no longer be included in my coverage. Either I have to find a new doctor, or I have to find a new supplement for my other knee, or any other ailments I develop.

This is why when Canada nationalized health insurance they barred doctors from accepting fee for service.

Until their Supreme Court scuttled that a couple of years ago.

Kind of amazed our current crowd in Washington did not attempt the same.

Oh just wait until your medical license is tied in to defacto slavery. You WILL treat everyone regardless of compensation. That’s a nice medical license you’ve got there, it’d be a shame if something were to happen to it.
