The post you respond to notes that drug costs are only 15 pct of health care costs and cutting them 80 pct cannot possibly lead to an 80 pct cut in overall costs... and you respond by noting that drug costs can be cut 80 pct. SMH

Again, it is irrelevant. That will barely make a 12 pct drop even if it comes through. 80 does not equal 12.

I also commented on OSC and what they are doing with surgical cost. They have been making money doing procedures for about 20% of what other hospitals charge.

Do yourself a favor and read up a little before you discount it wholesale.
