Our devices are different, the hospital is the end-user. Insurance isn’t part of our equation. (as an aside, I had a Medtronic spinal stimulator put in on the 11th of Oct, removed on the 30th due to complications! :( )
Our product holds medications. The hospital nursing staff use our product. The Obamacare tax hits us hard.
Layoffs help ‘streamline’ our cost structure when dividends drop so the investor’s numbers look better. It has happened in the past and is bound to happen again.
Okay, thanks for that explanation, it hadn’t dawned on me that a medical provider would be the end user.
