Dr. Bill Grace, founder of Grace Oncology in NYC and an assistant professor of clinical medicine at New York Medical College, told CNBC Monday night that the enrollment problems also are causing significant problems for doctors.
"Right now that back end is in chaos. … We don't even know if we should sign up for these plans, because we have a suspicion that many of [them] offer very little reimbursement or offer a loss to the physicians who are going to see these patients," Grace told Larry Kudlow on CNBC's "Kudlow Report".
"No physician wants to take money out of his pocket and put it in the government's."

But Obama's not going back. That would indicate that he made a mistake. And he never makes a mistake.
But that would mean that you are in change of your health decisions and not Zero. Can't have that.
....And it will get worse.
This Dr. obviously does not understand the new order.
Your property, your income, and the fruits of your labor are not your own.
Doc! You didn’t build that practice...
I hope you called or wrote your Senator and Rep. Even if they are GOP, they need to know what havoc this is causing.
sigh, Feinstein and Boxer are the senators and my rep is Lois Capps.
I drink a lot ;-)
The bright side to this is that it will affect lots of dems and they will revolt(in theory)
A lot of his own supporters are waking up at the shock that they aren't going to get free healthcare.
This will sink him and there is not one dang thing he can do to stop it.
If you’re in NY then you bought into the Hope-n-Change BS, so now live with it. As a doctor your AMA supported it, so deal.
There are only 40,000 pages of regulations. What’s so confusing about that, doc?
My Dr. is in it until he finds out what his reimbursments will be.
Wanted to know how it affects me.
Told him I didn’t care. I’ll still pay cash to come see him whenever I freakin want to see my doctor and no one is going to get in that decision process unless I’m broke, Dead, Dead Broke or he leaves his practice for whatever reason.
This guy is old as the hills and I appreciate his experience.
We go from A-Z whenever I have a problem.
Wish he had been closer when I ended up in the E-room couple months ago. Could have saved me thousands but, problem was diagnosed, dropped the med that caused it and reverted back to the one that I had taken for a decade.
Suppose to have another operation this week on my shoulder but, haven’t got approval yet from insurance.
Soon as I do I’ll get the blood workup and go under again.
This baloney has gone on long enough.
His AMA? Only about 15% to 20% of doctors belong to the AMA.
Wow, you live down there?
Lucky you.
Gotta meet next time I blow through your area.
Maybe Jan, Feb.
WHERE IS THE ONE MILLION DOCTORS MARCH?
Hey if Doc and Nurses think this is a terrible disaster there would have been dozens of protest marches in the streets by now, but nope.
Why?
Because the Docs and Nurses think and are banking on obamacare to bring them not just more business but a captive population that MUST come and visit their offices and bring them mo money....or the people will be fined. What gasoline station owner wouldn’t love Obama mandating everyone filling up at his gas station every week?
I have talked to Docs and that’s what they tell me...they will get more patients.
When I see ten thousand docs and nurses marching in D.C. then I will consider them allies in the fight against odumbicare.
I had a renter who literally smoked every waking moment. She’d had several cancer operations and continuing treatment at taxpayer expense. She paid for cigarettes by selling meat she bought on her EBT card.
I’ve spent a lifetime not drinking or smoking and I exercise regularly. All this for my health. But I knew a state worker who told me when he got lung cancer that he’d put in for a lung transplant. He told them he’d quit smoking but he said, “The new lung is so I can keep smoking.” His health insurance was the best as the state had, at that time, at least, the finest Cadillac policy. (I have no idea what happened as he stopped coming to the gym where we periodically talked.)
....I drink a lot ;-)....
So does Boehner!
Maybe he DIDN’T vote for Obozo.
Totally agreed. My doctor is about 65, and that experience is wonderful.
When I was forced off my husbands plan and onto medicare (letter said because of the new rules are ACA) I received a letter of all the things I should have done and not pay for.
After showing it to him, he just said “what I’m not treating you well?” I said he was great, and he threw the letter in the trash saying “damn government”
Sorry about your surgery, I had rotators cuff surgery, muscles ripped off in a car accident. Not a happy day.
Good luck, watch lots of TV and recover well.
