Click on image to the left to blow up. To see the whole report and the reasons why coverage is denied see AMA report card here.

The report is trying to focus on the "Billions of dollars in administrative waste" because of "third party-payers" not sending "timely, accurate and specific response to each physician claim." For more on that see: Video: John Stossel of ABC's 20/20 takes on the Health Insurance Industry and shows how third-party payments are driving up costs. Which apparently Obama does not deal with in his reform much like not dealing with tort reform or allowing purchasing of insurance across state lines to open up choice and competition without the corrupting influence of Bigger Government.

Now the stats above do show Medicare with the most count of records but notice the closest to them in count of records was UHC which had the least amount of denied claims percentage wise out of them all by more than half of Medicare. So to argue that Medicare and a government ran ex-change co-op or public option will cause less denial in claims is unfounded when looking at the already government ran Medicare.

Now I am sure there are other angles to look at when looking at stats like these but one must deal with this one before preceding with an argument that ObamaCare will do better in not denying claims overall.
