short answer:
Cause eventually they’re gonna yank your license if you don’t (already happening in Massachusetts I hear)

Forcing physicians to take Medicare patients will be circumvented and difficult to enforce. Sure, a physician can technically continue to be a Medicare provider, but it will be difficult to force physicians to actually schedule and see these patients. If the government becomes even more coercive and employs patient informants to snitch on non conforming physicians, the physician will probably see some patients, but the options for the patient wil be limited. In the first place, the government imposes so many preconditions and authorizations that bureaucrats will ensure that nothing will get done. And secondly, physicians can always find a reason not to do an invasive procedure.
If I were a Medicare patient, I would not feel very good about seeing a doctor that really did not want to see me.
