Yes, the new health care may offer reduced costs and sliding scales BUT doctor's will still have a choice as to whom or what conditions they will treat.

As a chronic pain patient already knows it is difficult just finding a compassionate doctor willing to take on the complexities of such.. it will be worse as these new laws take effect. Not only will it be more difficult to find a doctor it will be even more difficult to get an appointment. Wait list for specialists will be much, much longer and that is a guarantee!

I feel badly for anyone fighting the workman's comp battle but, to blame doctors for the mess that it is not fair. They aren't the problem it is in part the fault of many, many individuals who choose to be fraudulent and corporations who blatantly disregard the safety of their workers and then spend millions to fight paying for care rightfully deserved by the person suffering, so that they can continue operating in hazardous ways.



Just my two cents,
