Thanks WTDG, You do have a valid point in saying that keeping people alive longer with all types of hi-tech gear, has got to put a strain on the system somewhere unless premium costs go up to match. I haven't seen where that is the case, although I have heard recently that health care costs are to begin rising again. Why, do you suppose, would an insurance company endorse a product, such as the tmd unit, unless they plan on putting it into practice? I would imagine that some folks needing this type of device could pay for the unit themselves, or pay for part of it, etc. I am pretty naive when it comes to the healthcare industry, for sure, but it seems that they would be shooting themselves in the foot by doing this. What do you think? Thanks again for the valuable info.
EDWIN K.
