    Medicare is a giant subsidy to private insurance companies because it removes the disabled and elderly from their rolls. And it’s also created a back-end for coding claims that the industry adopts. And even with the more expensive patients, and the burden of designing the whole system, Medicare constantly delivers more care per dollar than the private guys.
