Not one doctor in NYC accepts Medicare ? [View all]

C-SPAN had a call-in show this morning with two ‘health care’ experts, during which people phoned in to make comments and/or ask questions.

Two callers, one male and one female, called to say they had very sick relatives who were dying and they could not get health care because there is not one doctor in all of New York City who accepts Medicare.

Being curious, I googled “doctors in NYC who accept medicare” and I found multiple websites, each with multiple pages listing doctors in NYC who accept medicare.

Yet neither of the ‘experts’ on the C-SPAN show countered the claim that there were none in NYC.
