Innumerable scholarly studies - I'm sure hundreds -- from that time and later, blamed cost shifting in significant part as the cause of the increase in costs. This is equivalent to crying in one's soup...see below. These are fundamental, immutable economic principles. You can't just wave them away. Health care for seniors is part of the national cost of health care. You can't just wish it away...when measured on a per capita basis, the answer is that the US is much more expensive than nations with single payer. I know that the details are more convoluted, but you can't say that single payer doesn't work just because one demographic, the most expensive one by the way, finds financial relief by cost shifting to the remaining ones...if that was not done the overall cost of national health would remain largely the same...that's where the problem lies...services are more expensive here...and if you say that quality is better here, something that has been pretty much been debunked by at least as many studies, then you live with the cost and quit barking at the moon.
