If you average twenty claims per year the administrative cost will be greater than if you average two.

Greater in total dollars. Not necessarily greater as a percentage of total costs.

1 - Medicare patients have more transactions a year, but that doesn't mean they don't also have a larger average transaction.

2 - Some of the administrative costs really are per patient, not per transaction, getting them in to the system and such. (OTOH I think there would be a very small part of the costs, except perhaps for the lowest cost patients)
