One would presume that the same authority would set the rates. It would be a godsend to the clinics and hospitals as they would have steadier and more reliable payer (in the form of the government) and the cost of clinic administration would go down. Private insurers and med benefit carriers make money by errecting bureacratic walls and mazes to stall a healthcare providers attempts to collect payment. Bereft of these walls cost of care would drop saving everyone money.
