wouldn't the doctor's worry be offset by that 10% increase, though? They'll only get it if they accept the Medicare.
Besides, in some towns, doctors would find themselves with a dearth of patients without taking Medicare. Can you imagine what would happen to Florida Doctors?

The point I didn't necessarily want to get into was that with the way things are now, doctors have no reason to make their treatments more cost-effective for their patients and their insurance providers (there was a good Business Week article about a month ago, about a hospital in Oregon that turned money-losing Medicare patients into profitable ones).

They don't, or at least not in this bill. That'll have to be a new bill.

To the extent the framers intended an elitist legislature, they erred, IMHO.

We can't pay for the subsidies; even after the tax hike they increase debt in the short term.
