Houston Chronicle: Texas doctors are opting out of Medicare at alarming rates, frustrated by reimbursement cuts they say make participation in government-funded care of seniors unaffordable.
And it will only get worse under Obamacare. Sure, everyone might have insurance, but if there are no doctors willing or available to treat them, then so what?
Repeal and replace, baby. Repeal and replace.

not just medicare. a lot of them opt to not except workers comp anymore. My own hasn’t excepted it in years. Why? because they never f’ing pay! Case in point. about7-8yrs ago I got hurt on the job. After waiting 90mins for our HR manager to get her self aggrandizing ass off her phone and come up front with the paperwork. I went to the hospital ER because I couldn’t get into the ER. Then went to see my GP the next day. 8mos later WC STILL hadn’t payed my Doc. You gotta understand this is a guy whose been seeing me since I was in my teens..around 15yrs old. So at this current point in my life, I’ve been going to him for 20+yrs. I got infuriated and paid him out of my own pocket, because Workers Comp sure as hell wasn’t. How much were they stiffing him for? A whopping $150.
ooops make that “I went to the ER cuz I couldn’t get in to see my GP that day.”
