Does the study also look at lower provider and hospital costs? Spending on hospital and providers makes up ~50% of US healthcare spend according to CDC. Rx spend is between 10-20% and admin overhead is 30% or so

I wonder why this paper didn't contemplate effect of Medicare for all on hospital and provider spend?
