Medicare for all would accelerate the physician workforce decline.
Quite a few physicians over 50 would retire early and many independent physicians would drop Medicare. Most remaining physicians would become employees. Employed physicians typically see 20% fewer patients than their self-employed colleagues.
Any further legislation “forcing” physicians to accept Medicare would only exacerbate and reduce the workforce.
Taxes would be significantly higher than we have today and Americans aren’t prepared to assume that burden.
The hidden price tag the proponents of BernieCare don’t talk about.
RE: Quite a few physicians over 50 would retire early and many independent physicians would drop Medicare.
If the socialists had their way — they’d pass a law REQUIRING physicians to accept all Medicare patients under penalty of having their license to practice revoked.
You read it here first if ( God forbid ) it ever passes.
