This week, physicians are set to receive a 21 percent pay cut under Medicare, because Congress was unable to pass a so-called "doc fix" legislation to defer the scheduled cuts.
<SNIP>
The cuts will officially go into place tomorrow.

===============================
Over the last several weeks, I've talked to 3 of my family's doctors -- and my Nephew who's also a MD.
2 have stopped -- and the other two are seriously considering not -- taking Medicare patients anymore.
That was before this.
Yep, Medical Insurance reform -- with the $500 Billion Medicare cut alone -- is going to make it just great for older folk or parents/grand parents.
