    While there may be some doctors opting out of the Medicare system, I do not see this as a major concern.  Too many doctors have a large percentage of there revenue come from Medicare patients.  The concern among doctors is the cuts that Medicare has made, but I do not see a mass exodus from the system.

    Doctors will not stop seeing Medicare patients. Medicare is an ever increasing pool of new patients. Medicare patients are "insured", whether covered by original Medicare (and a supplement) or a Medicare Advantage plan. This insured status means doctors are almost always guaranteed to be paid for their services. Of course medical necessity is the key to getting paid.
