My Internist, who stopped taking Medicare, was very candid with me about her new policy of no longer accepting Medicare. I cried, and I knew she felt my pain, but, I respect her decision to earn a decent living. TY for your honesty.

I misspoke. My family physician has PA's and and an NP. The NP is the one I usually see when she's too busy. My family doctor is an (guessing 45 or so y/o) AA and is doing pretty well...new office, etc. I've been seeing her for the past 10 years and so far haven't been told she won't take Medicare, etc. She works hard though...calls back at 8pm sometimes.

I had an auto accident a few years back...whiplash, bruises, hematoma, etc., and my family physician's PA did the exam, wrote scrips for pain killers, muscle relaxants and orders for x-rays, etc. I wind up seeing her more often than not. Only time I've seen my doctor in the past few years is when I needed a second opinion on a surgical procedure before deciding what to do. So far, I'm fine with this. Yes, that is normal procedure.

He was stopped in his tracks the other day when one of his Mexican workers was cursing an illegal (Blankedy blank M......) who was taking his time to fax back some papers needed to sign off on a job. "Mexican minutes, Amigo", I believe was the excuse for the delay. People who are here legally have almost a bigger issue that I do about people who sneak in. They don't want their pay undercut by illegals. Even though my relative pays well and won't hire illegals, they know the next guy will...especially in this economy.

Why do you think we have so many lawyers who upgrade their payscale to politicians? I think we have more lawyers than any other profession holding office right now.

As a physician who has worked in the public hospital system and in private practice, I can tell you that at this moment, many of my colleagues have opted out of Medicare and Medicaid because of low reimbursement rates. The plan to insure an additional 30 million people without any attempt to fix tort reform, improve reimbursement rates and address the basic problems with the current system will leave many more citizens without care as more and more doctors abandon government plans.
