There is the change factor, people not wanting to deal with what they are not used to, and find uncomfortably different; but it isn't the only factor. There is also the cost and hassle of dealing with the paperwork (even for someone who has had to deal with it from the beginning), and the lower payouts (perhaps to the point of making treating them unprofitable) for these patients, which will impact new doctors as well. I'm having a Twilight Zone moment. Here I thought the vast majority of the 30 million newly insured would be covered by private insurance companies.
