Medicare is not as efficient as health insurance. A very small percentage of doctors will accept it because they don't pay proportionally to health carriers. It has a lower overhead because it only covers a tiny fraction of the population.
I aplogize for this post. I thought we were talking about MEDICAID. You were talking about MEDICARE. I'm not as familiar with medicare.
