Doctors are not getting fair pay for treating these people and it makes it very hard to find a good Doctor, it is a very bad situation, unfair to patients and Doctors both.
Why is this important?
This affects everyone on Medicaid and Medicare, usually only about 1/4 of his fee. Many Doctors have stopped accepting these patients, making it difficult to get proper care and enough time with the Doctors. Finding a Primary care Doctor is difficult as well as a specialist who will take patients. Finding the right Doctor is even harder, you have to take what you can find, this is unfair to the Doctors and Patients both. Pay Doctors at least half their fee. This needs to be a priority as more people are added to Medicaid and Medicare each year.
