One of the big consequences of this "problem" is that it stifles mobility. We're thinking of moving to a different state, but that will all depend on whether we can find a Medicare provider. (neither one of us is currently on Medicare, but he will be soon...........I'm still several yrs out.) Our current physicians, who we've been with for over 20 yrs, are not taking any new Medicare patients, (we're grandfathered in) and I'd bet that is the route most doctors are taking. So what does a person do about hc if they reach medicare age and can't find a doctor?

Consequently, "the prices paid by Medicare for health services are very likely to fall increasingly short of the costs of providing these services." Indeed, "Medicare prices would be considerably below the current relative level of Medicaid prices, which have already led to access problems."
