Senate democrats backed off this Medicare expansion plan as a compromise in exchange for the government operated insurance option in health care reform. Republicans and several Democrats complained that Medicare is a budget busting program that under pays for medical services and this new bill leave the insured with fewer doctors willing to provide service as many had expressed their intention to opt out of the Medicare practice.
