[QUOTE="SKATA, post: 4190196, member: 53653"] Been a bad week for me so I am venting. First the Integris data breach, next IRS screwed up my tax return, and now Medicare is hitting the doctors. Just got a letter from my primary doctor and nine doctors in the group that they will no longer accept medicare due to the decrease in reimbursements. What my doctor is suggesting is an alternate program that will cover the difference. Of course I have to pay that and it doesn't appear to be cheap. (numbers to follow). So I pay into medicare and can't use it? Doing further research, what I see is doctors, med groups, and hospitals start their own insurance programs. Retirees medical costs will soar because each specialty group will have their own program. Obviously the government is moving to universal health care, controlling the doctors, controlling your treatment(s), supporting all the illegals and others. AKA marxism/communism. Also, they will destroy the rural hospitals and clinics to force people back to the cities so they can control that too. Completely break the system. AMA and websites are all screaming about this. And I also think there will be many doctors that will start refusing Medicare patients. This will be a disaster for the foreseeable future. Comments welcome [/QUOTE]
