#3 Given the increasing shortage of doctors accepting Medicare and Medicaid, moving to single payor might prove objectionable, however desirable the planners might find that goal.

#5 There was a 150,000 doctor shortage before Obamacare was passed. Doctor shortage. 40% of the physicians said in a poll that they anticipated retiring or leaving the profession in 3 years. IMO a government run healthcare system destroys physician incentives.

Insurance entity goes into receivership? I worry that the government will go into receivership as the result of Obamacare. According to the Heritage Foundation, Medicare will be cut by $716B due to Obamacare. Cuts in Medicare. Obama calls it redistribution of income and social justice despite that seniors have worked their entire lives and paid into Medicare. Seniors still pay into Medicare. It is taken out of Social Security every month.

#10 Maybe we'll come to a day where neurosurgeons will offer "the works" for the same price as a dental crown.
