You are truly a dope. AHIP is a lobbying group for the health insurance industry for God’s sake.
Dude, you were the one who linked to the paper on their website! When you thought the paper supported your position, you thought it was the greatest piece of writing since the Bible. Now, it’s the trash product of a compromised lobbying group.

Yes, I did post the link and yes it does support my position. It’s when they make the leap that health care is expensive because Medicare has lower reimburse rates than private insurance that’s BS.
It’s an excellent example of insurance lobbyists misleading you dupes.
My original point stands. “Examining payment rates for 2006 and 2007, Milliman estimated that if Medicare and Medicaid paid the same rates as private insurers, they would have spent $88.8 billion more.”
