Doctors like Fearon describe financial pressure, longer visits for complex Medicare patients, and fear of audits under fraud probes. Nationwide, the share of doctors accepting all new Medicare patients fell from 76.4 percent in 1999 to 70.1 percent in 2002, with Seattle dropping from 71 percent in 1997 to 55 percent in 2001.
