You know, if pharma wanted to, they could blackmail us all big time! Maybe that is why the govt is attacking insurance companies only right now. Can't live without our drugs though!

My Mom just had an angiogram done yesterday luckily they did not see any blockage so no stints were needed.
There was this rack of full of the long instruments used in the cath lab each wrapped in a plastic sheath. There was a lady over at the rack counting each one of them. It looks like hospitals are taking this stuff very seriously, which is a good thing. Also they attached little barcodes to everything she used for inventory control and billing.

If there's a limited supply of something, it only makes sense to do it that way. I know it's not politically correct to think about, but if you have a 20 year old and a 70 year old that need the same item, how do you think they should decide? First come, first served or the one with the longer life expectancy?

That has more to do with billing and accounting purposes than a shortage. They don't want to miss billing you for every little thing.
