"In addition, Obamacare will deeply cut Medicare Advantage for more than 300,000 Wisconsin seniors enrolled in the program. And 27 percent of Wisconsin physicians say that they will place new or additional limits on accepting Medicare patients. Read on for more details."
"If Medicare fees decrease by ten percent or more—as the Affordable Care Act will require—27 percent of Wisconsin doctors say that they will place “new or additional limits” on accepting Medicare patients. 22 percent say they’ll stop accepting Medicare patients altogether. In August, I wrote about one such physician, Paul Wertsch in Madison, whose clinic was the first in that city to stop accepting Medicare. According to this survey, many more will follow.
The survey also has bad news for Cheeseheads on other forms of insurance. 23 percent of Wisconsin physicians say that they’ll place new or additional limits on Medicaid patients as a result of the Medicare cuts; 21 percent also say they plan to raise fees on those with private insurance in order to compensate for the cuts."
Anyone who didn't see this coming must have blinders on.
We've had Obamacare/Romneycare here in MA for some time now and there is no government intrusion and the only restrictions are on medical facilities to keep them honest so yes, you might hear your doctor or your provider ***** but it's time they've been reigned in. The patient wins in all respects. After living in other states, I wouldn't want to get my healthcare anywhere else but here. Obamacare works!

This is not an email, which is what you link to. My link is to Forbes.
"The Wisconsin Department of Health Services asked Jonathan Gruber and Gorman Actuarial to estimate the impact of Obamacare on the private insurance market. The Gruber-Gorman report makes clear, as do similar reports for other states, that Obamacare’s web of insurance mandates and regulations will dramatically increase the cost of individually-purchased insurance."

Physicians refusing to take more medicare patients, some dropping the ones they already have, increasing the cost to services of patients with insurance, and even higher insurance rates than we already have isn't "reigning in" anybody.
I'm not about to read a 39 page document covering Maine. The article I posted is about Wisconsin.
