Murrey: Tell us about the Madicare Advantage program. I am in one and love it so far. Admittedly I have not had any real problems nor gone to a hospital. Thanks Peter

No Doctor can take only one Medicare patient. If he/she takes even one patient, they are required to take any others that want to be seen. Some Docs don't take any Medicare patients. Luckily for me, I've never been rejected. And have been very happy with my Docs along the way. I have A (no additional charges for anyone here...we've paid small premiums to the Government for this for the years we've been working and so did our employer)...Part B we pay for, Have Drug coverage with copays, and have Medicare Supplement J... And yes, you're right...Medicare Advantage seems to be on the chopping block.
