Why did Medicare and Tricare physician payments get cut? Will this result in a decline of health care?

Asked by CaptainHarley (22447points) April 13th, 2010

When all this furor started about “healthcare reform,” we veterans and military were PROMISED that the healthcare we had would not be affected by the changes.

Now this: “As of April 1, 2010, Medicare and TRICARE payments to physicians were cut by 21 percent. The reduced payment rate may result in fewer doctors being willing to accept TRICARE, which could leave millions of seniors and military beneficiaries without a primary care provider.”
