A doctor who won't take any insurance or Medicare? Yank their license, plus imprisonment.

188. I'm sorry your dad had such challenges -

My father-in-law had similar challenges. He died as a result of malpractice and the doctor altered his records to indicate he had performed tests that might have saved my father-in-law's life if they actually had been performed. e His daughter (a nurse and lawyer) saw the unaltered records, but unfortunately by the time she saw that the records were later altered my father-in-law was mentally incompetent to execute an affidavit that the tests in the record were never performed - so they got away with it.

But my father-in-law was relatively wealthy, had insurance, and still had a crappy incompetent doctor. His doctor didn't abandon him - but he might as well have.

It isn't clear to me that your dad's problems were related to Medicare so much as they were to a crappy doctor. (For starters, I don't see anything that suggests that it was Medicare issues that made the first doctor abandon him.)
