Uhh...since when does Medicare for all require the sacrifice of not being able to keep your doctor? I'm on Medicare and I have the doctors I want. Is that a poll thing? Ask people if they will accept a negative situation that doesn't even exist, then get the negative polling response you want?

Great comment. My husband & I have been on Medicare for years, & we have always been able to see any doctor we want - & that includes specialists in Boston.
It depends on the doctor. I have a primary care physician in name only. When I aged into Medicare, my care was transferred to his nurse practitioner. IтАЩve deduced over the years that the physician billable hours are reserved for patients with private insurance, as the Medicare reimbursement is less than private insurance. IтАЩm not complaining, at all. My nurse practitioner is wonderful: excellent caregiver, delightful personality, we share pictures of our grandchildren at my visits, and she can and does write prescriptions and make appointments for me whenever I need them. For primary care
тАж sheтАЩs all I need. She also shares results from my physicals with the specialists I see (endocrinologist, ophthalmologist, and podiatrist. IтАЩm a type 1 diabetic) When I see these specialists, itтАЩs the doctor.

never pays to overgeneralize Susan, or question the meme.
I was just asking a question Frank. In response to a suggestion that Medicare for All would force you to give up your doctors. Do you have Medicare?
I'm Canadian, docs in NB are in short supply so best to keep the person/s you have. Some others rebutted that claim for some places in USA
Medicare for all is an insurance program. Not a healthcare system. I don't understand why people get that confused.
