Looks like Medicare's dirty little secret is finally getting
out. Providers have quietly been dropping out of the
Medicare system for years - more rapidly and in greater
numbers in recent months. You want to get providers back
into the Medicare system? Simply require that Medicare pay
the bills, as presented, in full and within 30 days of
presentation.
Then figure out how to get the American people to accept a
fifty percent or more hike in their income taxes.
How do you reconcile these two statements?
BTW taxes would have to go up but certainly not 50%. We
actually cover 100% of the population for less money per
person/per tax payer than you do covering just 85%
