Could Virginia Start Forcing MD's to Accept Medicare & Medicaid Patients?
by Kerry Picket 3 Nov 2013
Kathleen Murphy, a Democrat who is running for the House of Delegates against Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock, told a forum in Great Falls on Saturday that doctors should be forced to accept Medicare and Medicaid patients: FYI last night at the Great Falls Grange debate, Democrat delegate candidate Kathleen Murphy said that since many doctors are not accepting medicaid and medicare patients, she advocates making it a legal requirement for those people to be accepted.....

Why not make it a legal requirement to give office visits for free?
This is insanity!
Post title does not match story title.
maybe...right up to the point they move out!!!
The smiling, friendly master is still a slave driver.
If they are apprehended in another state can they be forcibly returened to Massa Virginia? (Dred Scott may apply here).
If adopted, there will be no doctors to force to do anything.
Rats are wreckers and destroyers.
the announced reimbursement rate plans for this program amount to the doctors giving care and service away for free, the reimbursements barely cover the billing costs
this is why we are reading so many reports about how many, many doctors are refusing to sign up to participate, provide services in this plan
just like many of the best doctors now refuse to take any new medicare patients, only worse
No, but Virgina COULD force doctors to leave the state.
No.
Regardless of what happens tonight, the state’s House of Delegates will still be dominated by the GOP. This will NOT get anywhere, nor will most of McAuliffe’s agenda.
Have to shake your head on that one.
Not going to happen, at least not here in VA. However, I fear other states whose legislatures and governors are dominated by the 'Rats, that idea is crossing their perverted minds.
Kaine and Warner managed to get a lot of things done. McAuliffe will have a bigger media allegiance than even them.
Another example of the democrat party’s love affair with slavery.

The GOP representation in the HoD was nothing like it is now.
watch the number of doctors in Virginia drop
the bill was 2700 pages long.
the regs are expected to be around 150,000 pages
this is going to be interesting.
The really bad news about this bill hasn’t even begun to happen.
They could. And then when Doctors close their practices, the legislators can make new laws to require Doctors to work for minimum wage....
