[Diabetes-talk] question?

[Bill Lewis]

Why doctors are reducing their visitations with certain classifications of 
patients, I am told, that it is due to Obama's Health Plan which is runing 
our quality of health delivery services and forcing us into a federal plan 
that rations services.  Already, the government has had to back off some 
payment cuts to doctors because of a threat of a mass exiduc of doctors from 
practice or from offering coverage under Medicare or Medicaid.

My diabetes physician promises to continue seeing me every four months.  He 
accepts only a percentage of Medicare-covered patients.  Younger doctors 
seem to be a bit rejecting toward their own patients although the cause of 
their anger is government, not patients themselves.  But, so what else is 
new? -  Bill Lewis
