Medicare acceptance has been quite steady these last years.

Report: More doctors accepting Medicare patients

I only know of one doc out of about 60 that doesn't take Medicare. Aside from peds.

Medicaids are all over the place as Obamacare significantly raised reimbursement rates in some states.

My rough estimate is that maybe 10-20% of our local docs don't do Medicaid.

Many more docs have been cut from plans as the privates have long since known how to milk the system in their favor.

Interesting how we have all the conservatives who post here babbling on and on about Obamacare and doctors refusing patients. The typical conservative who criticises Obamacare is covered by Medicare, Tricare, and VA. Why not tell us what your personal experiences are? You guys dont have a clue about the ACA, paying premiums, making appointments, paying deductibles, etc...not a clue.
