Understanding medical billing and Medicare payments are not simple tasks and many times not transparent to us consumers. Below are two reports and accompanying videos that are attempts at trying to solve the mystery. The reports and videos were prepared based on the author’s independent research since he was unable to obtain satisfactory answers from Medicare, health professionals and online Medicare experts. Perhaps a better understanding of how Medicare system works (or not work), will give us consumers a better insight why the United States health system needs improvement.
A simplified explanation: The below short video and accompanying report are based on a fable about a shoemaker, a cobbler who lives in Cobbland, and how he operates his shoe business. This shoemaker fable is used in an attempt to simplify how Medicare works. Even this simplification is not that simple.

A more comprehensive explanation: The below video and comprehensive ‘technical’ report is the author’s attempt at trying to describe and understand how the Medicare system works. The report is technical in nature and somewhat complex…even though the author has tried to simplify the objective of understanding the mystery.
