4. I've seen those articles...

I'm unclear as to whether the doctors are boycotting OR whether the insurance companies are opting out of expensive care. Or, both. Maybe that's a hospital thing.

The article I saw mentioned that doctors were saying their names are showing up as participants, but they either are not participating or haven't made up their minds as to whether or not they will participate.

If they decide not the participate, I'm not sure what could be done about it. I assume you can't make someone participate in a program, if they don't think they'll get paid reasonably. We may need a doctors "within" borders program.

The news media is useless, so I guess we'll see soon enough. January is right around the corner.
