a friend of ours is an orthopedic surgeon. he and a few like minded docs opened their own ortho hospital--he's the guy who did the surgery on my husband last summer.

the hospitals in that city have been pretty much enraged since the place opened. seems our friend and his partners 'don't charge enough'. i hate to think what the bill would have been had tony gone to a traditional hospital, rather than to this place. and the care was exceptional! so, he and his partners could charge thru the nose as other places do, but they choose not to. shame there aren't more like him. but then, most hospitals have to overcharge their paying customers like crazy, to cover the costs of those who don't pay--and of course the huge increases in the bills explains why some can't pay!
