Good luck finding a doctor who accepts Medicare in the near future. Good luck finding a doctor in general if Obamacare is enacted into law. So who will be the health care providers in the future? Nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who lack the education, training, and clinical expertise of physicians but are oh, so much cheaper to pay for.

Gonna be some LONG lines the ER as we are the ONLY people in the entire Medical system who can’t say no thanks to EMTALA.
Good luck finding more docs to work in the ER’s too. I have about 5 years to go in my career then I am out of here. Maybe that timeline is getting shorter....

This is why we “need” health-care reform...They don't pay the doctors and providers anywhere near the actual cost of service, so the real insured people have to be billed at triple and quadruple the actual cost, just to keep these medical operations running...They say that doctors and hospitals get paid such a high income, yet, nobody in their right mind would go through the grind of the medical field for less than $150k...Obambi and co. gotta get into the real world...
