I would be shocked if Medicare/caid expenses are lower across the system. They may be lower on the government side, but that probably means that they've just shoved the costs on someone else. Warning, anecdote masquerading as data:
My family doctor now gives me a 50% discount on our BCBS rates on office visits because we pay cash at time of service. We essentially pay less than the gov't does for the same service. He's a small business, so I'm going to assume he understands his overhead picture. Back to my main point. You assert that the government can provide healthcare more cheaply. Please point out something else they provide more cheaply. crickets -XC
