SubscribeOne of the problems in healthcare is elasticity of demand. We learned this in economics. When you increase pricing demand goes down and when you decrease pricing demand goes up. The reality in healthcare is that there is no elasticity. You can raise the price forever but we're still going to that hospital. You can lower the price and it's not going to increase. So it doesn't respond to normal market demands.
Bill Russell, This Week in Health IT

It was tragic story, after tragic story of folks isolated in hospital rooms, not being able to be with their family.
Darren Dworkin, Cedars Sinai
