Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cruella" data-source="post: 185041" data-attributes="member: 3983">They haven't even finished writing all the mandates for it.  Just look at the debacle of Medicare  It's a huge part of our unfunded debt.  And that's not even accounted for in our 16 trillion dollar debt. That's how govenment works.  Medicare has lousy coverage compared to private insurance, and a lot of doctors won't even accept Medicare patients.  Just the paperwork alone is a pain and the slow payment isn't worth it to some doctors. I've also heard that there is a shortage of doctors in some areas. That's only going to get worse, unless we import more from other countries like India.</blockquote>
