How significant is the impact of administrative costs on healthcare? From what I understand, with every HMO having an encylopedia of rules and regs for each procedure, it is adding incredible amounts to the cost of healthcare due to the need to have specialised people to understand their code and differentiation in costs.

When administrators out-numbers health care providers, something is wrong with the system.

I looked for, but can't find, the graph I have seen before that shows a direct correlation between the increase in hospital and HMO administrators and the price increase for health-care.
