Hi Dave,
Medicare's payments for services are abysmally below cost for many services offered. Is it any wonder that fewer and fewer providers even take Medicare patients? Let's not forget why the providers get paid -- Medicare is actually paying for the senior's care, so this is an increase to THEIR benefit. Hopefully this will encourage more providers to take on and care for Medicare patients.

... if seniors really ever do. What a surprise! (NOT!)
Medicare law aids HMOs first! Before most seniors benefit, health providers will get boost in funds.
