Tunica, some 20 years ago, when I was involved with health care, the numbers my "statisticians" were presenting to me was 7%, I think that due to inflation and new technology it could have doubled, but I REally do not have a good number. If it is less than 15%, then the problem is even smaller since less than 22% of the economy are under intrinsic inflationary pressures....

I noticed an odd incongruity in your logic. You propose an unexpectedly large inflation in the cost of medical care, in the near term; yet, you are markedly bearish on the prospects of the biotech industry. Would they not be the benefactors of rising costs in health care?
