Zeus,

Every once in awhile you come up with a great article. This one and the one on sleep apnea were both excellent.

When capitalism runs your health system, it is no wonder that health care is sold like autos: buy a new one every two years or you are horribly out of date and not keeping up with the Joneses. With only one insurer (Medicare) with the clout to say "you are charging too much," you get price gouging.
