Summary

This document contains two slides from a KPCB 'USA Inc.' presentation regarding the economic factors of restructuring Medicare and Medicaid. The first slide analyzes cost growth contribution by spending type (projected 2019), noting that political sensitivity makes reform difficult. The second slide argues that healthcare providers are already underpaid by the government, showing negative profit margins for Medicare (-9%) and Medicaid (-12%) patients based on 2007/2009 data, while employer-sponsored insurance subsidizes the industry. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp.
