Then why is there so much fraud? And promises, ad naseum, to end the fraud? You are talking admin costs aren't you?
All the third party insurance programs are one of the major causes of cost increases in health care.

Medicare is actually doing a great job of controlling costs, the primary reason for the increase in costs is demographics, as the population ages the costs go up. There is a boom of elderly occurring. The costs in the private insurance industry are rising far faster (and largely for increased shareholder gains).
