What is worse? 20% across the board income tax cut or cutting medicare by 716 billion?

Obama isn't for killing medicare. You've been lied to. The 716 billion isn't cutting money from benefits. The cuts are being made on the provider/hospital side to curb waste, fraud and abuse in the program.

Which you know... is just going to lead to doctors and hosptials refusing to take anymore medicare patients. 

Heck with the flood of newly forced insured patients, they'd be crazy to do so.

Essentially it's going to be near impossible to find a medicare doctor... and when you do... they will probably suck.

Yep as the population of the US ages and more and more people are under medicare it makes total sense to refuse to sell your services to that segment of the market ( the biggest and fastest growing segment by far).

/sarcasm off

Doctor's aren't like car makers or anything.

They have a limtied amount of time, and lots of people wanting what they provide....  a lot of doctors already refuse Medicare.

Medicare patients already actually have trouble finding primary care doctors and the like, only really making it easy to find specialists... because speicalists make decent money under medicare.
