You mention the opportunity to choose your own doctors. That is not exactly true as more and more doctors are refusing to accept Medicare. Statistics for 2016 indicate that one in five doctors are not accepting Medicare patients. I recently had my six month visit to my dermatologist and had a small place on my forehead which required surgery. She does not do surgery, but one of the doctors she uses for referals accepted Medicare and all is well.
