"Those covered are generally very satisfied..."

Like most of your points so far, that is debatable. I know several covered under Medicare who believe it to be a poorly run bureaucracy. It is capricious about what it covers and when and even more capricious about what it reimburses for treatment.

Few doctors will accept new Medicare patients because the reimbursement rate means that caring for those patients is not profitable. While doctors do get into the field to care for people, they have the reasonable expectation to be able to choose when and to whom to provide care charitably.
