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.

This is an interesting point you have brought up about Medicare. Can you blame the Doctors for not wanting to take Medicare? I sure wouldn't take Medicare? Alot of these Doctors have a enormous amount of student loans to be paid for.
