I am a mental health administrator and provider. I could not keep up with all the paperwork, denials, re-billing of services, etc. From medicare. I lost my practice. I was in va. Beach, va serving military families and others. Reimbursement from all government sources was terribly money draining. I could not keep my doors open. How dangerous for our country to be putting small and big businesses, mental health and physical health right out the window. I cringe with every mass shooting and every suicide that could have been prevented and all the suffering that is going on in America due to poor price setting, delayed payments, massive paperwork that is outdated before you can get the 30 to 60 page contract in and perfect in short time frames. Barriers to serving people. Let us do our job without mic - managing to the point both hands are tied. I'm just sitting here doing nothing now thinking about all my nice diplomas

Please don't make it impossible for doctors to accept Medicare patients. This part of the system seems very broken, for doctors and for patients. Please fix Medicare by developing a rational Medicare physician payment system that automatically keeps up with the cost of running a practice and is backed by a fair, stable funding formula.

I am asking Congress to stop the Medicare meltdown so patients can choose their doctors and their doctors can stay in the program. Please fix the crumbling foundation of our health care system.

Those on Medicare already suffer enough with trying to meet ends, cuts to the program would be catastrophic. Our town has a large elderly population and we need our Hospital/Clinic this can only happen without additional cuts.

I wish to be able to choose my own doctors, and wish my doctors to be available to me. Obama is a nightmare for our country. DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO TAKE OUR PRIVATE DOCTORS AWAY FROM US!

Repeal The Affordable Care Act, and replace with market place health care not government ran. Let the free market place work. Healthcare providers can not stay in business and keep providing care with the new reimbursement system in place.
