| ■ Hundreds of Texas Doctors Leave Medicare | 2010.05.21 |
| Problems with Medicare reimbursement may have led hundreds of Texas doctors to opt out of the federal health care program for the elderly. In the first three months of 2010, 50 Texas doctors left the program, bringing to more than 300 the number who have dropped out in the past two years, according to a survey by the Texas Medical Association, CBS/AP reported. Primary care doctors, already in short supply around the country, have left in greatest numbers, an article in the Houston Chronicle Tuesday noted. |
