A little of both. Medicare does pay out less to doctors than private insurance, which supports my argument that it helps to bring down costs. OTOH, the Bush drug prescription benefit plan prohibited Medicare from negotiating drug prices and essentially gave American pharma a monopoly. I believe this is to change with the current bill.
