Universal Health Care and the Doctors

I saw this great op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal: When Doctors Opt Out. Not sure if the article will stay online. It's by a Dr. Marc Siegel, and he talks at length about doctors refusing to accept Medicaid and Medicare patients. This does not bode well for a government-run universal health care system.
