People who rely on Medicare will eventually find themselves relegated to a place in the pecking order LOWER THAN MEDICAID patients.

This is a direct result of Obamacare's steady whittling away at Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals - all in the name of cost-savings. It makes the cost of Obamacare look much more affordable, but in the end, it erodes coverage for those who need it most.

This article, published in the Washington Examiner, is eye-opening:
Read the article here - how Obamacare will impact Medicare

As it stands today, more and more physicians are refusing new patients on Medicare. That's because of the abysmal payment schedules set by Medicare. Those payments are small and getting smaller by the day.

By 2019, they will be lower than MEDICAID based on the way the law is written.

We have a looming shortage of primary care physicians in this country and it is only going to get worse because of Obamacare, not better.

All of us, the people and the politicians we elect to represent us, need to revisit this ill-advised law sooner rather than later.
