5. will the program lose doctors who currently accept Medicare?
is that one of the objectives of Scott McClellan's brother, Mark? ... an inside mission accomplished-in-process? Is he helping to slowly drown the program in the bath water by screwing things over? Is this a "you're doing a heckuva a job" thing?? It just seems that whatever they do, whatever they touch, it spells disaster; and, not in citizen's best interests ...

What of these "structural changes" he's talking about ... "Those changes would focus more on paying
doctors when they provide services proven to improve patient outcomes rather than just reimbursing doctors for more care."

What does that imply?


it's going to take a Big Broom to sweep Washington out if we have an honest election come 2008


it's just not elderly patients ... people on Social Security Disability have Medicare, too


McClellan "said he is seeing more leadership from physician groups this year ..."

What groups are they?
