[QUOTE="Bill Barber, post: 881032, member: 57910"] the key to fixing our broken health care system is cost containment. 40 yrs ago when I entered the health field cost containment was the #1 goal. Today it is balls to the wall with hospital charges, the Docs keep getting less. Cases in point: Robotic surgury, all the rage today, Million $ machine, 200K yearly service contract, is neat stuff but the results are no Diff than non-robotic surg. Scalpel blade costs 55 cents, patient charge $50.00. Did a back case on a young lady last month, Hosp. only charge 550,000, insurance paid 200K. 12 hrs of surg, 10 titanium screws, two Ti rods, 4 cross braces alone cost 35K. the list go's on and on, is just ludicris.
