exactly.....it is going to be a boon doogle forever they way it is set-up now...
If they wanted more insured people they could have just income subsidized more people and made the old system more user friendly..since they (theFeds) felt a need to interfere.
I am thinking some of the people pushing for this are looking north and NOT knowing how it works.....The Canadian care is NOT a federal program like Gr. Britain and other countries....it is managed by the provinces, for the provinces....each province responsible for its own program and what it can afford...if you don't want to wait and you have the resources, you have a choice to go private and get it done immediately.
You are absolutely correct. Our family operates a medical clinic here in TN. As it sits right now, only 44 percent of doctors are accepting medicare patients. That number will slide as they keep adding regulations and dropping the payment for services. One may have government insurance, but that is much different than whether you can find someone that accepts it.
The decision was made here to keep existing medicare patients but not accept new ones.
The new medical model now is switching to more of a concierge service like you described.
Coming soon near you.
