Cut social security and throw millions more into the job market
Medicare already doesn’t cover much
The very first thing I ask ANY doctor (or their clerks) is, “Do you take Medicare Assignment.” If they don’t I find another doctor. What’s ‘Assignment?’ It’s the price they together agree on what Medicare will pay for for any given coded procedure. I also ask the same question about my supplemental insurance - do they take assignment or have rate agreements with that part of my insurance. You’d be surprised how much those over-inflated bills are knocked down.
