I've read simple summaries of this bill and was curious what senior (or informed junior) people thought about the effect this will have on the practices of general neurologists (who are highly dependent on Medicare) and the practice of medicine as a whole. I'm most especially interested in comments regarding the Titles dealing with Medicare reimbursements and performance measures for physicians.
Does anyone here recall the beginnings of Medicaid and Medicare and the changes that our profession underwent when these were passed?
To me these issues seem worrisome. However, I'm open-minded and welcome all opinions based in fact. I am emphatically not looking to stoke political debate.
There are many summaries of this act available online, but I've included one here for simplicity: http://dpc.senate.gov/healthreformbill/healthbill04.pdf
