If a dr opts out of medicare, then he has a valid record on file and you can get your prescription filled. Its for people who have never been drs, who sell "durable medical equipment" and bill medicare up the yin-yang. Havent you seen those reported in the news? There is at least one big one per month. I really dont think its about coming between old people and our heart medicine.

No, the biggest fraud in medical equipment is electric scooters, hover crafts, etc. There was a kickback scheme in my state. The scooter company paid doctors $500 for each one they ordered. When investigators went to visit those that got their scooters through that vendor, they found most of the scooters in corner of a room being used as a potted plant table or clothes hanger like many treadmills and steppers.
How many of you who think this rule is a great idea are ON Medicare? That's what I thought. You have no idea what it's like to have a bunch of lawmakers make it hard to get good medical care.
