TMA Physician Says Medicare Cuts Hurt Patients_030210.wmv

A Texas Medical Association physician says for the moment his practice will remain open and will continue to see existing Medicare patients, but the new Medicare cut in physician payments might force them not to accept new Medicare patients. He worries that Medicare patients will have an increasingly difficult time finding a physician to care for them, and may have to turn to the emergency room for urgent medical care.
