Hey i-node, from an oncologist friend of mine:
Why Obamacare or government sponsored healthcare won't work in America: Yesterday my office received a letter from MSI (Orange county Medi-cal) stating that MSI is broke. The letter stated that MSI is $11 million dollars over budget for drugs and that they are going to start paying doctors 20% of Medi-care rates, which translates to about $8 for a 45 min patient visit.? Since $8 isn't gonna cover the cost of overhead I'm not sure who is going to be willing to see these patients. Medi-cal covers health care for 25% of children in Orange County. The system is broken! Clearly Obama thinks cutting physician reimbursement is part of the solution since he just signed the Sequester which will cut Medi-care reimbursement. Cutting physician reimbursement is just going to limit access to care for poor and elderly people since no one will be able to afford to see them.
You won't see this reported in the media.
