And if they cut payments to doctors and hospitals won't the end result be that doctors and hospitals will start refusing Medicare patients

Many doctors will not take Medicare patients now and I cannot blame them.

Here is a recent billing for myself:

Extremity Study (for bloodclot)-----$351.00
Applied to Deductible-----------------00.00
Medicare Contractual Adjustment---$327.53
Medicare Palmetto GBA Payment-------6.06
Applied to DED/BS---------------------0.00
Secondary Insurance------------------0.00
Billed to Patient---------------------$17.41


Can you tell me what doctor would perform any medical service for $6.06?

I am paying Medicare $88.50 a month for this "non" coverage.
