Billing Clerks We have 900 billing clerks at Duke (900 bed
hospital). I’m not sure we have a nurse per bed, but we have a billing clerk per bed. It’s obscene. Dr. Uwe Reinhardt, hearing on healthcare reform, US Senate Finance Committee, November 19, 2008
This is how we do “market-based” care 30% of the health care dollar goes to
administration Canadian hospitals average 2 billing clerks

“Mandate” Model - Problems
Absent cost controls, expanded coverage unaffordable Computers, care management, prevention not shown to
cut costs Adds administrative complexity and cost; retains
wasteful private insurers Impeccable political logic, economic nonsense
