| 1625909118031564800 | @larry_levitt @KFF 5. Reduce administrative burden the cost of which contributes significantly to overall cost / billing. A reduction in overhead for administration if done correctly can reduce costs across the board given the bloated effect of costs for administration in the system. https://t.co/EIQB4ZtaKZ | 4 |
