If a doc wants to charge $75 for a procedure and medicaid only pays 75% he has to charge $100.  then he has to charge everyone who is not being paid for by medicaid the $100 or its fraud.  They aren't "taking a loss" unless they don't price accordingly.

Also, people who have NO insurance and stick the doctors with unpaid bills also make the costs go up.
