text: I've been a Medicare beneficiary for 13 years. I'm the vice president of a retiree organization. I've had no problems getting medical care in the three different western states served by my current hospital provider. I've gotten next to no complaints from our many members, though they're in virtually every state in the union, though they're typically diverted to me. Before I went onto Medicare, my retiree health plan with three different insurance managers was never rejected by any provider. Why should you be having this problem that doesn't seem to commonly exist?
