are you f-ing kidding me????
there is nothing that doctors hate more than having to accept medicare.
Medicare = government insurance
Doctors hate it because reimbursement rates are too low and paperwork is too much of a hassle.
I asked my friend and dentist awhile back if he takes medicare/medicade.
He said no and explained: Compare my service to buying a burger. It costs $1 for the materials to make it. it costs another $1 to pay the employees to make it. It costs $2 to maintain the resteraunt and by insurance for the resteraunt. The final $1 is for profit.
So I need to sell the burger for $5 to have a business that can make it. Now the government comes in and says I can only be reimbursed $1 for that burger... so I'm out $4.
If you think this bill will encourage young bring minds to become doctors, you are more clueless than ever thought before.
But then again you think its "easy to make" doctors.
