Most small providers are getting squeezed out by requirements (Electronic Health Records is one) for continued, profitable operation under Medicare, and so they are joining larger practices, or hospital-based practices. Actually, Medicare seems to pay fairly for many practices, but Medicaid, the state-run version, does not. In my blue state of CT, I know very few people who will take new patients under Medicaid; they don't pay their bills, and they come back 6 months later to try and catch you with an un-dotted 'i', so they can take back what little they did give you.steve_in_cthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311791585832876004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-77621531925596472092012-06-16T07:01:07.680-04:002012-06-16T07:01:07.680-04:00@Doom

People honestly believe that Democrats (and liberals in general) create unintended consequences, when things go to hell fast. That is not the case at all. I give Dems credit that they actually do know, and intend. The worse it gets the more the demand by sheeple for help! Help! My mother is dying, there are no doctors, help! Yeah, no... That is a created disaster, one with a specific goal in mind.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.com
