Medicare Services Shrinking " United Health Advantage Cutting Doctors

Whoa - this sure sound like 'Single Payer' to me. I guess it's coming sooner the we all thought. What a bummer for those that sat in the front pew of the church of Obama swilling the Kool-Aid.  sigh - what to do now? shrinking

( This from the '5 Minute Manager)
Whoops, the government got its hands on Medicare.
We couldn't resist that jape this morning, recalling one of the most precious moments during the original debate over Obamacare -- a constituent telling Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC) to "keep your government hands off my Medicare."
 
Now comes word that even people covered by Medicare are not to be spared: UnitedHealth has been cutting thousands of doctors from many of its Medicare Advantage plans, according to The Wall Street Journal. "Other carriers will likely follow UnitedHealth's lead," suggests Washington Times blogger Terry Ponick  "The ripple effect will inevitably lead to health care rationing under Medicare, as more and more patients will need to queue up for appointments with fewer and fewer doctors and even fewer specialists.
 
Welcome to the beginning of socialist health care rationing, European style."
