What is

How much do government programs pay compared to other payment sources?
In many cases, Medicare & Medicaid reimburse hospitals at rates that do not
cover the costs they incur to provide care. Payments from privately insured
patients generally subsidize the shortfalls created by Medicare and Medicaid
and therefore represent a “hidden tax” on individuals and families not covered
by government programs.
