*How do doctors feel about this? I know a few doctors that already refuse to take anymore Medicare people…Won’t this make it worse?

Docs… who said you will be seeing a doctor. My bet is you will have to see physician assistants, nurse practitioner, maybe an RN and maybe just maybe you will obtain a referral to a real doc.
Watch for doctors to form private groups of specialists on a for pay basis and let the emergencies and long term care go to this new plan.
Not much incentive for docs to buy into this new system so they actually hold some negotiation cards due to a future shortage of doctors.
