Fact of life Drs made a killing on Medicare over the years...Maybe those who abused the system did- double billing, billing services never provided, billing for unnecessary tests, etc. It would be interesting to know the extent of that abuse.

My friend has been a doctor for over 30 years and every time he sees a medicare patient, he loses money...
I remember about 10 years ago he saw a sign advertising manicures. He said women pay more to have their nails done than medicare reimburses for an office visit.....BTW it was $15.00 for a complete set of nails.

The generation of doctors who were practicing when Medicare started made a killing, since they were paid 100% of their usual and customary fee. However, Medicare rates are now such that practices lose money or barely break even caring for those patients.

Baby Boomers are in for the shock of their lives when they are forced into Medicare, especially after the the democrat party's $500 billion in ObamCare cuts hit.
The Medicare Ponzi Scam of the democrat party is currently collapsing, along with Social Security Scam, and for the exact same reason. The democrats have literally run out of other peoples money. The Bill is due and there is no one left to pay it!
