Why do I feel those hands on my back bending me over for another receipt of the shaft from Obama.?

Does anyone really believe that the real cost of health care is the cost of it’s paperwork, and the way they send out their bills?

You missed the most important phrase in the statement:

"The cost savings would be achieved through steps such as streamlining paperwork and changing the way hospitals deliver and bill for services to patients."

IOW, changing the way hospitals DELIVER services to patients. What will happen, slowly at first, is that services will be denied to the elderly and the terminally ill. That's how they will accomplish the greatest savings.
