Re “Doctors Are Opting Out of Medicare” (Retirement section, news article April 2):

 

Thirty percent of Medicare patients who were looking for a new primary care physician say they had trouble finding one, and more of the elderly may find themselves in this situation unless Congress permanently reforms the broken Medicare physician payment system.

 

Every year, Congress must step in at the 11th hour and reverse planned cuts brought on by a system that ties payments to the economy instead of the health care needs of the elderly.....
