False. Whether or not the doc accepts Medicare assignments (the amount
Medicare will pay) has nothing to do with the ability to see that doctor,
only with how much the patient may be out of pocket.

You are right. I wasn't clear. I don't think of them as MCare patients
if they aren't going to use MCare.

If that's what he meant, it's a specious argument. The same is true
of all patients. Pay for care and you can get it. No insurance
needed.
