15. Doctors are now dropping Medicare patients,
even those they've had for years, all the while knowing that they'll have great difficulty in finding another doctor who'll accept Medicare at a time when they often will need care more and more. That is unconscionable and inexcusable.

The vast majority of doctors nowadays won't even consider seeing you without insurance, period, and they then want their money NOW and are, like hospitals, very quick to send you to collections regardless of your circumstances. I'm sorry, but that's also unconscionable. Doctors were this way before Bush, frankly.
