To be exact, it costs the government 12% less to insure a patient under Medicare than it costs insurers - by law.
The government pays the docs 12% less for services, that doesn't mean they are able to provide the services for less. Again if the medicare system is so great why is it operating at such a loss? It isn't the advantage plans, medicare had it's solvency issues long before those plans were available.
