There a nugget in the report though, ferreted out by Vox's Sarah Kliff, that's potentially groundbreaking: the government looks to be paying less to cover more beneficiaries for hospital insurance than a year ago. Medicare's hospital insurance program — known to wonks as Medicare Part A — spent $266.8 billion covering 50.3 million people in 2012.
