SMALL MEDICAL ADVANCES. BIG JUMPS IN BILLS

The New York Times this morning posted an article on the financial cost of small advances in diabetes treatment.

One of the most bothersome quotes to me is:

Drugs and equipment makers operate in a global market, and our costs are higher because every other country applies price controls, and we don’t. -Robert J. Shapiro, an economist and chairman of Sonecom L.L.C., a Washington-based financial advisory firm.
