New uncompensated care estimate


Providers in 2014 save about $550 per person who gets insured because of the ACA, only small part of that $550 is an efficiency gain (the rest is a transfer to hospitals). Meanwhile, I estimate that the labor market efficiency losses are at least an order of magnitude greater, not to mention that the efficiency losses really are losses.
