One of the most profitable areas of healthcare right now are the Medicare Advantage plans. They take in huge sums of money and do this by limiting access and finding “sicker” patients by over testing. They are then allowed to charge more for these “sicker” Medicare patients than their regular reimbursement from Medicare. The hospitals and doctors get squeezed and the insurance companies, by their shrewdness, make billions.
