I am obviously just guessing, as we all are, but I could see the quality and availability of private practices going down as they wouldnt be private anymore. Anyone who wants an appointment can get in line.

What would happen to my kids private high quality dental office? Do you think they are going to maintain the high quality staff and workplace like the have now if its all medicaid?

Why pay to have tvs on the ceiling and quality staff and sterile environments.

I imagine all the current high quality practices will dissolve or greatly degress to a median care ...

Long view .. would this de-incentives young doctors from going to the best schools ... why go to some amazing expensive med school if when you get out, you get paid the same as someone who went to a podunk med school?

Health care and medicine in this country definitely needs an overhaul. And I get the overhaul is needed for the poor or dependent ....

seeing medicaid in action ... its an eye opener if youre used to private health care. that much i know I am not guessing on.

I dont want to get the low quality service and wait lines like medicaid offers.

I guess I am afraid that in an effort to pull peoples health care up, they wont come up but Ill be pulled down with them.
