County by county. Every county in the country has a rate determined by the Health Care Financing Administration, by Medicare. Unfortunately, the difference between some counties and other counties is huge. Let me give you an example. This chart shows that the disparity between the top 10 percent of counties in this country and the bottom half of the counties will increase if nothing is done. For instance, in my congressional district, one county is reimbursed on a monthly basis per Medicare beneficiary at about $245. There are counties in this country where the reimbursement rate is over $700.
