Today, Medicare is being cut by 21%.
The federal government has routinely cut Medicare over the years, but then turned right around and stopped the cuts.
Congress has been doing this "sleight-of-hand" trickery to make the budget look good.
This year, however, the cuts are still there.
Bye, bye health care for our seniors. Even if (and more probably "When") the Medicare payments are reinstated, this will still probably be a wake-up call to doctors to be wary about accepting Medicare patients.
Simply put, doctors cannot see patients at a loss. It's a business as well as a profession--and if you can't pay the light bill, you have to close your office. It's as simple as that.
