What do you feel is the most detrimental to our patients that are effected by cutbacks?Not only is medicare making major changes, so do the other insurance companies who follow suit.With that said, also on the flip side,regarding financial reimbursement to hospitals, home care agencies and Dr offices.The patients still need care,regardless of the payor source, or reimbursement.Do you feel it will put some places out of business??What do you feel about a World Wide Health Plan???

My mom was telling me that the orthopedic doctor she goes to was telling her that one of the other docs in his office had announced that he was not going to be taking new medicare patients. I thought what if all the docs start doing this. Where will the medicare patients go?


I think this will definitely have a hugh impact on medicare patients.
