Medicare Pricing Drives High Healthcare Costs
The Washington Post; subscription may be required Jan. 7, 2014
"Medicare may be best known for paying the medical bills for millions of people 65 and older, but recent studies show it plays another gargantuan role in American health care: It helps determine prices for everyone.... Medicare prices are sometimes based on faulty premises, offer perverse incentives for unnecessary care and provide widely varying amounts for equivalent drugs.... [T]he influence of Medicare prices means that those faults may be replicated throughout U.S. health care."
