>> Examine any dealings between physicians, groups, and hospitals, and you will (almost) always find arrangements designed to compensate for the misallocations of funds between Medicare parts A and B. And I say "almost" just to be careful; I've never seen any. Not that hospitals would be rolling in dough, but in relative terms part A is more generous.

Although I know less than nothing about hospital reimbursement, one would assume higher reimbursement rates are targeted to account for higher fixed costs. But just like Warren Buffett has, I would argue that government is a pretty inefficient allocater of resources.
