Thanks for the link. Well, politicians have always batted around how Medicare payments are determined. There are presently 441 geographic payment areas for hospitals that pay on the basis of average costs in the area. And as I read here: Quality-based Medicare payments could hurt minority patients, in 2013, the program will give increased payments to hospitals rated as higher quality institutions.
