Health Care Cuts Could Shift Costs to Private Sector
The Washington Post; subscription may be required June 21, 2009
Excerpt: Unless doctors and hospitals are able to respond to the government cuts by becoming more efficient, the result could be higher costs for insurers, employers, and people with private medical coverage, [economists] say. Historically, health-care spending has been a bit like a balloon: If it is squeezed in one place, it tends to bulge in another. 'I think there's definitely risk that a portion of the reduction in hospital payments from Medicare will wind up as increased payments by private insurers,' said Paul B. Ginsburg, president of the Center for Studying Health System Change.
