"that means the Democrats are letting more than 100,000 people die!
Mr. Durbin, what is your justification for deliberately killing a medium-sized town?"
It is so sad that we Medicare people will get to see $50 billion taken from us each year...
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?
Rush and Sean have NOTHING to do with this... so stop bringing them into the discussion as if you are adding somethign to the topic..
But I do note you havent respnded to my statement.. Do you think doctors will take on new patients with even LOWER payments?
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?
Oh yes, Kat, some of the changes will start to take place right away. Like the killing of private insurance companies and a pronounced shortage of doctors even if none of them leave the country or just retire.
Not to mention the taxes that will start right away too.
