Study: Doctors say no to Medicaid | The Daily Caller

Feb 4, 2014 ... Less than half of doctors in nation’s largest cities are accepting Medicaid now: study. ... Health-care consulting firm Merritt Hawkins conducted a survey of Medicaid acceptance rates which found that just 45.7 percent of physicians are now accepting Medicaid patients in the U.S.

Lets get this straight. On hand you claim that we have socialized rationed healthcare..

And then you attempt to post a link stating that less then half of physicians then accept a primary socialized, rationed, government based insurance?

You might want to rethink this one.

why rethink if we know that only half of MD's accept medicaid here we know that care is rationed here and that you were mistaken and so trying to change the subject.

Yeah.. not sure you can understand.

If only half the MD's accept Medicaid.. which is the "socialist, rationed care insurance".. it means that our care is not that rationed. If our system was that rationed.. then 100% of MD's would accept Medicaid. "do you understand".

actually rationed means the people get a portion of what they otherwise would get in a free market. It means long lines like you had in the USSR because demand exceeded supply!!

Except the US, which has had less subsidized healthcare than any of the industrial countries, has the worlds most expensive health care when expressed as a % of GDP.

Do you have a link as to the percentage subsidized per country. Private insurance is a form of subsidized healthcare, BTW.
Is there any meaningful way to compare levels of coverage? Do other countries cover more or less everything the patient wants with small deductibles? Do other countries have some form of Liverpool Care Protocols for end of life coverage?
