Nope. More and more providers are dropping out of Medicare, or imposing limits on the number of Medicare patients that they're willing to see. It's tough to sustain a financially viable medical practice on Medicare rates, especially for primary care in HCOL areas. Medicaid is even worse. There are a lot of patients who nominally have coverage but in practice are functionally uninsured because they can't find a local doctor to take them on.
