Baby boomers to help out physicians

The upcoming Medicare cuts will adversely affect baby boomers as this will worsen physician access. Any they won’t take no for an answer:

Medicare cuts don’t affect just seniors, Plested said. They also affect military families and the disabled, because their health-insurance system is tied to Medicare. In Washington, the cuts could affect 336,000 military-family members and 760,000 Medicare patients, he said.

But Congress won’t make any changes unless patients protest, Plested said. “That’s why I’m thrilled about the boomers, because they won’t take no for an answer.”
