it's already getting difficult to find doctors who will accept medicare/caid. the amount of money they will make vs the amount of work involved to accept those patients is becoming untenable for most doctors. so many are opting not to accept more patients who use those two coverages.

the cost of medical care in this country has exploded, while our health hasn't gotten any better. ACA isn't the problem solver, with premiums shooting thru the roof and medicaid set to drain more than the proposed medicare savings.

medicare and medicaid need revamping, as does SS. when SS began, almost no one got it. now, almost everyone does with most taking out 3X or more what they put in. that's what you call an impossible scenario to continue. the new york times recently ran that story-look it up.
