Medicare most efficient? I guess it is because the goverment dictates the terms. For example an office visit will get reimbursed $15, well below true cost. Therefore hospitals/doctors have to charge more to insurance companies to make up for the losses on medicaid patients.

I guess it's not easy for hospitals to just say they won't take medicaid patients.

If medicaid were the only system then hospitals would just go bankrupt.
