Part B Medicare payments to Doctors have already been cutSo ... what did the Doc do? .. simple, raise the cost for an office visit!Last year CMS paid 80% for an office visit to my Doctor.
NOW the &%#$@ers at CMS only pay 50%.
It now 'costs me' more to go see my Family Dr, a General Practitioner, than it does when I go to see my Orthopedic Surgeon for a Cortisone shot. 'SERIES', the office visit cost for the Specialist is now less than for a GP, go figure that one out!?!
The money that pays for your care is being paid, this year, by taxpayers who are in the workforce.
And those taxpayers are going to have to pay more and more and more, every year, for you to receive those services.
So perhaps you might want to turn down the "how dare they cut MY benefits" sense of entitlement just a notch or two, mmkay??.
By the way, I'm looking at my 57th birthday this year....
