For the procedure you describe, $240 is laughable. Private insurers would not have the cojones to cut the fee so deeply. But the government can do whatever they want.

They can "cure" the problem of doctors and hospitals not accepting Medicare by simply passing a law requiring participation as pre-condition for doing business in the state - or something like that.

The way of government is not competition, but coercion.

How senators could even think of moving medicare to age 55 and not fixed a broken system is beyond me. I can see more and more doctors, hospitals not accepting medicare.

I agree, I don't get the "the system is broken, lets make it bigger" logic...
