1) So Dr's are paid less in some cases if they take Medicaid?
2) And in your 15 years did you notice a greater amount of paper work (Schedules etc.) and greater amount of time in getting compensated by Medicaid/Care?
3) If I have a 'private' Dr. now and am forced by situation or circumstance into a Government policy will that Dr. be forced to accept me for treatment?

If you answer 'yes' to all three questions you should be able to see the flaws in the plan.
