Looks like NO leftists want to weigh in on this one.

Who can blame them? When their agenda is exposed as a fraud, what else can they do, besides run and hide, hoping people don't notice?

Perhaps republicans should propose that it be paid for from the money they had set aside for MMA act of 2003 (about $800B). But, who is paying for that?

I don't know. Some, yes most, are still seeing Medicare patients now. This "crisis" is one that has been at least partially manufactured by the RW media.

Are you speaking out of experience or just guessing ?

Your sentence is technically correct in that most are still 'seeing' Medicare patients but most are NOT taking NEW ones.
Not Primary Care doc's.

Well, I work in pediatrics, so we don't have any medicare patients. However, I am also a health care consumer, getting older by the day. The docs I go to have many patients over age 65. The baby boomers are just starting to retire. I think the system will adapt.

Could you provide a link to document your assertion that MOST are not taking new Medicare patients?

Not to mention the taxes that will start right away too.
