The amount that Medicare pays does not even cover the cost of seeing a patient.
What will happen is physicians will only see patients with minor medical problems.
You can see 3 patients in the time it will take to see one patient with complex medical problems.
You can make more money seeing one patient than 3.
The physicians who do not retire will do this.
Mark my words.
Oops, I meant you can make more money seeing 3 minor patients than one with a major medical problem.
I am so angry I cannot even type right.
If this bill passes, physicians might not have the choice of seeing only a particular type patient. Laws can be passed that physicians see whatever patients present themselves that fall into their area of practice.
Retiring or changing careers might be their only choice. The little Stalins who would pass such bills as this would not hesitate to pass bills telling physicians what patients they must see.
