We take Medicaid. It was 38% of our billing last year. It is administered in WA state by six different health insurance companies. Some provide better coverage than others as far as who is in-network and who is not; all of them cost exactly the same to the consumer, all of them pay exactly the same to the provider.

Under Medicaid you can go see a provider, be told "we aren't covered by Provider X but if you switch to Provider Y not only are we covered but you get a free car seat." And you can switch, at no cost, every month with a couple pages of paperwork.

One of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated on the people of the United States is the idea that healthcare is complicated and that a public option is impossible. If we switched to 100% medicaid our revenue would go UP.
