January 28 2011 at 4:37 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplyThe Medical Group which I go to announced that as of Jan 1, 2011 they were not accepting any new Medicare patients. When I asked my doctor why he responded " We are getting paid less and the regulatory expenses are increasing. We have enough business and don't need this". If more and more doctors do this, where will the Medicare people go to ?

Every industry needs some regulation, but real regulation comes when the consumer is able to freely walk away from a bad doctor or freely chose where to purchase their insurance and both doctors and insurance companies are forced to compete for business! The same goes for our schools...once students were forced to go to specific schools and those schools were guaranteed money for each student in attendance the need to actually teach those students disappeared! Choice and competition can regulate business in ways that government laws can never accomplish!

Nothing that is being done will effect the benefits of those who are as close to retiring as you are. BTW, running two wars did not cost nearly as much over 10 years has Obama has spent building turtle tunnels and replacing windows in a park visitor center that had been CLOSED for two years with no plans to reopen! As for taxing the rich...they ALREADY pay the greatest majority of taxes! And if our government increases their taxes, they have a lot of choice today in where to move their money in order to protect it. And surely you do not think that simply stopping all medical lawsuits will lower medical expenses? Yes, we need serious tort reform, but we also need the ability to purchase insurance across state lines and many other things that will open the medicine and medical insurance to competition. Obamacare is NOT any kind of solution...it is just going to worsen the problems we have now!

Fear not conservatives, they are a "rat in the corner" and will say anything to keep the power they got in 2006, just look at their deeds not their attacks.

Social security money is gone, but not to worry the goverment will pay it back. It is good to make fun of people trying to solve the problems. If conservative try to solve the problem they are throwing grandma under the bus. If they do not they are all talk and no action. It is time to stop campaigning and try and solve problems not attack the people who are try to think of ways to correct the problems. The only answer coming from democrats and the president is spend more.

We can make some serious changes and make some serious sacrifices now or we can kiss both programs completely goodbye! Have YOU paid into medicare and SS or you one of those who get an "earned" income credit each year. There are a LOT of people in the US right now who work and get this credit, meaning they pay nothing into either program, but they will be entitled to the program when they retire! How do you think THAT is going to work out? Our government has gone insane promising to support one and all at the expense of a few. The few are fed up...get ready for some serious change, including medicare AND SS. Either change or the programs will be gone, which do YOU want?

This is one of the worst news organizations full of liberal Democrats that ever existed and so it will not post this. However, your time will come when someone is going to sue because their is nothing wrong with this comment.

Paul Ryan looked timid and afraid of what he was talking about. Maybe because Paul voted for the bail outs and therefore could not abandon his vote. He was lucky he was re-elected last year. I believe TEA Partiers and Republicans did not know Paul voted to increase the deficit. And the Congress woman from Minnesota really, as TEA Party rep, made a mess of herself. Her response just collided with that Paul Ryan. I was further surprised why she gave a rebuttal in the first place. Is she running as TEA Party person for US presidential ticket?
