Clod - I know and agree to a point.

Lamp - sorry to say that your post is nothing more than one team pointing the finger at the other. I think there is plenty of blame to go around. The R's are being asshats in some respects, but the law itself was written very poorly, none of them read it and when you only have one tool (writing laws) the old "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" comes to mind. This law was nothing more than an attack on one industry while completely missing the other cost drivers which are Big Pharma, Medical equipment manufacturers, hospitals and providers.
