Actually 80% of the medical coding is done for Medicare/caid - another reason my doctor doesn't accept Medicare/caid patients - he can put his procedures into about 500 different codes whereas Medicare/caid is VERY strict and to be honest, makes a lot of "busy work" and costs hospitals and other providers millions a year if it's not done the way Medicare/caid wants it. In order to get payment from the government, the providers spend millions in salaries so the claims aren't completely turned down. It's why it's such a fast growing field.
In actuality, the more government gets into healthcare, the better off I am at owning a coding company and the more money I'll make.
That doesn't mean I want the government to manage MY heathcare for me.
