because he would make more monies from the insured patients including medicare and medicaid I don't get that. The allowances for medicare and medicaid make aren't going up. Providers will be lucky if they don't go down, as Congress tries to do each time doc fix comes up. So if he does the same business with the same insured patients, then his income will be either the same or less. The only additional moneys he can get from insured patients as a result of PPACA would be for the preventative measures that no longer require a co-pay so a few very money-conscious patients might get them where they did not before. But that's pretty small potatoes.
