President Obama has cited the Mayo Clinic as an example of cost effective medical care. Now one of its clinics will no longer accept Medicare patients because the reimbursement rate is too low. This is before Congress implements further Medicare cost cuts to pay for the new health care bill.
At the local level, private practice internists are abandoning their practices for the same reason and going to work for providers like Kaiser Permanente. These are precursors of the massive changes in health care that are about to occur courtesy of the Democrats. Please securely stow all movable items and fasten your seat belts - we are about to enter severe turbulence.
