One of our primary care physicians has a sign up at the front desk that specifically says if/when the 21% cut goes into effect, they will no longer accept any (not just new) Medicaid. But then again, several of our doctors don't take any insurance at all, so we're in a biased group. It does seem to me that if a doctor is good enough to have any loyalty from patients whatsoever, then they won't need any Medicaid patients to keep their practice running. I honestly think Congress has expected for years that Medicare and most of the recent healthcare reforms are going to implode, and they're using this as the stepping stone to gain real support for a single-payer system.
