Increasing numbers of family physicians are saying that they can no longer afford to care for Medicare patients, and cuts to physician payment in the Medicare program scheduled for 2008 and 2009 may drive more physicians from the program, forcing elderly and disabled patients from accessing needed care.

Wow, I didn't realize this was such an impending problem. Congress should do something about this! At least one group is working on changing this. Go Family Physicians!
