(146,286 posts)you're confusing Medicare and Medicaid. I know of no doctors or hospitals or clinics in the Minneapolis St. Paul metro that do not welcome Medicare patients. Some hate Medicaid, but not Medicare. That may be different in rural areas. I don't know.
Besides, once a universal healthcare system is in place, what are those people going to do. That will be how healthcare is delivered. If they don't accept it, let them move to some other country.
Universal health coverage is, well, universal. If it is implemented, doctors and medical facilities will have no choice but to accept it. Period. That's why it's called universal. It will mean changes for the healthcare industry. I don't care. They'll figure it out. I'm not interested in their welfare. I'm interested in providing universal healthcare on a national basis.
