"We also raise an important, although heretofore unrecognized, issue that gives
Medicare an inherent advantage on administrative costs. Because of the higher cost per
beneficiary, Medicare administrative costs appear lower than they really are. If the
numbers were adequately “handicapped” for comparison with the private sector, they
would be in the 6 to 8 percent range."

That's a good point.

It's so hard to compare such disparate processes. And it's so hard to trust those who are offering comparisons.
