That is what I meant. Why wouldn't doctors accept medicare money?


The same reason doctors don't want to work for $12 a month in Cuba.

I AM talking about private providers. Why wouldn't any of them accept government money?


Because more and more often it doesn't cover their costs. The prime reason healthcare has become so expensive is because of government interference and red tape.

there never has been nor will there ever be a simple plan for Medicare.

Every president and every congress has tried to fixed the problems yet we still have them.

so many have tried yet all have failed.

Well, like you say, it covers 80%. So the rest would be covered by the patient or supplementary insurance. Either way, the doctor is getting the money, so there is no reason for refusal of treatment unless the patient cannot cover the rest. Same deal under the Ryan plan, as there is still a risk of patient inability to pay. Obamacare is the only plan that ensures everyone is covered.

80% of the Medicare maximum allowable, which has been covering less and less of the actual costs as time goes on. And, again, the costs keep going up mostly because of government interference and red tape more than due to increases of actual medical care increases. It's the same reason government hasn't increased its efficiency in education or employment--government/bureaucratic bloat, inefficiency and incompetence, going on now for over 50 years.

Some good and bad:

Cubans live longer than we do and have more docs per cap.
