My words were only to say that it will be more difficult to find doctors willing to treat those who are on the new plan. I also stated how much more difficult it will be to get an appointment because wait lists will be high. I was not saying anything against or for this new healthcare policy just making comments as to future difficulties such programs can cause. If I offended you or anyone else that was not my intention at all.. I am just as angry at our system (WC/Medicaid/Medicare) as the next person!!

Lastly, I pointed out that it is not the fault of the doctors that WC makes people jump through endless hoops trying to get treatment rightfully deserved - it is WC state laws that doctors are required to follow.
