Very interesting article.

Nitpicking: Why do they give the cost for this solution "per month", and then for comparison the costs in the US "per day" and "per year"? Did they choose to make it harder to make a comparison??




Agreed.

Hogewey = $8,000/month or $96,000/year.

US Average = $90,500/year.

Perhaps their comparison was to point out that for roughly the same cost, you get much better care (outcomes) in the unique facility.


Yes, that was confusing. It's not hard to do the math, but the comparison would have made a lot more sense if they'd done it in the article.


Its CNN. They convert between rocks, limbs and miles, so this should be easy.
