Talk to any doctor I have encountered and I asked about, "What do you think about the Medicare changes?" Every one of them are definitely not happy. One eye guy has had to cut back staff hours due to non-payment issues by the Feds.
The docs make too much money. 1960's I remember just $8 for an office visit, but that was before the outrageous malpractice insurance increases.
The real cutbacks will happen in 8 years, after Obama's 2nd term, if he gets that far on re-election.
Somebody has to keep Wal*Mart and McDonald's labor market healthy once the new immigration laws kick in and vamos back to the homeland.
