Florida. Known as the “Horse Capital of the World”. Also known as the state to have the HIGHEST overpayment of hospital charges for Employer Sponsored Health Plans vs. Medicare.
Hospitals in Florida bill, on average, 700% of Medicare but then our heroes, the BUCAs, throw on their capes and slash those rates by 50% with their superpowers. Leaving the Employer to pay nearly 350% of Medicare instead.
Something smells a little bit like horse poop to me…..
