I had to have a doctor because I am a diabetic, RLS, Goiter, Barrett's Esophagus, Hiatal Hernia, Back pain, 4 stents in my heart, etc, but I cannot find a doctor in my town that will take medicare and medicaid. And I need one here in my town. Most of the time I end up in the Emergency Room because I don't have a doctor here in this town. How can I get a doctor to take me on when the doctors don't want to take medicare and medicaid. It is almost like a bad name when you mention that you have medicare and medicaid. If doctors don't take medicare and medicaid what are we seniors suppose to do?

Are you able to relocate to a town near a teaching hospital? NC has many facilities near Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill if you can relocate. Duke, UNC, Wake Med, and many other facilities and from what I have seen, they all accept Medicare and Medicaid.
