Default Re: Have you encountered difficulty findings a new primary care physician,

There was recent legislation that would have cut Medicare payments drastically to primary care physicians. Many docs pulled out of Medicare in anticipation. In an 11th hour vote the bill did not cut payments....delayed until later. It is a yearly on going threat and the 11th hour retreat, but this year it was 10% which brought out overwhelming letters from both patients and docs to the legislators.
