this is going to limit Obamacare patients....
New York doctors are feeling queasy about ObamaCare and many wont participate in the new national insurance program because they fear theyll go broke, The Post has learned.
ObamaCare is going to send me more patients to see and then cut the payments to provide the care thats whats going to happen, predicted Donald Moore, a primary-care doctor in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. I will not accept it.
Moore claims that President Obama made a big mistake by requiring uninsured residents to obtain medical coverage from for-profit insurers through the ObamaCare health exchanges instead of through public health programs like Medicaid.
Under tremendous pressure to keep costs down and profits up, Moore said hes concerned that commercial insurers will pay doctors less for patient visits and services than either Medicaid or Medicare.
Many doctors, he argues, wont be able to cover their costs with such skimpy fees.
Moore scoffed, Whos going to sustain the losses? The insurance companies? Its basically going to be a race to the bottom.
