People are not stupid, my neighbor is 76 and she gets it, she is living proof that Medicare isn't cutting it for her!!
More and more physicians are opting OUT of Medicare. They have been opting out of Medi-Cal(Caid) for years. The only docs who accept it Medi-cal can barely speak English themselves. I still haven’t figured out how they pay their malpractice premiums with such pitiful reimbursement. They get less that $25 for an office visit. You would demand more than that for YOUR skills typing or filing or whatever when that figure has to be shared with an office staff and pay for an office and equipment, etal. I think they will make more as government employees and THEN they can treat you poorly with the full backing of the federal government. Will that eliminate trial lawyers when the doctors are defacto postal workers????
