Why are more and more doctors, dentists, and specialists saying no to medicare patients?

At my dentist visit yesterday (actually dental emergency) one of the assistants told me they no longer accept medicare patients. I'm also hearing through the news media that other care providers want nothing to do with medicare. Will the trend of not accepting medicare continue if the democrats health reform passes? I actually have no insurance and received a 5% discount plus $100 dollars off my bill for paying cash.

>Will the trend of not accepting medicare continue if the democrats health reform passes? Most likely. Why should a physician accept a lower payment from the government when someone else can pay cash.
