MEDICARE FEES
Doctors who participate in Medicare face a 21 percent cut in their payments at the end of March. Because of a flawed formula dating to 1997, Medicare doctors are threatened with big fee cuts almost every year. Congress has since stepped in 17 times to prevent the cuts but has failed to permanently fix the problem.

Some will pass the 21% on to the patients, but those who can afford to will simply close their doors. Be prepared for Cuban-style, walk in clinics in lieu of formal doctor's offices. PAs will man the clinics rather than Drs.
Some planned obsolesce about to happen to folks like us.

All in all, I'd use Vets if I could; they have more compassion in my experiences with our critters over the ages.

I'm glad I had a skilled cardiologist available when I needed one.

You're correct there.
Not sure how well a vet would have done with my bleeding ulcers, so I have to give the highly trained specialists a break here...
