1. Both.

2. Medicare costs have been rising slower than the private sector, around 5-6% vs. 8-9%. And this is despite caring for a sicker population.

Because that doesn't address one of the fundamental problem, which is that the growth of health costs is far outstripping our ability to pay for it.
