Probably news to nobody reading here, but it was such stunning evidence of greed in the hospital industry I just had to memorialize it.

This is from 17 May 2013 NYTimes article on the East Coast hospitals with the highest billing and payment. There's such a disconnect between what's charged and what's customarily paid that one must account for both. The users who pay the most are the uninsured; Medicare pays the least, and most insurance companies negotiate something in-between. ( Bayonne Medical Should be Bayonne Financial )

ETA to fix erroneous time travel

Thank heavens for

antarcticlust, who introduced me to the lovely notion of “science-y” at a great WisCon panel a couple years back. Science-y is information that's science-related enough to matter, and presented plainly enough for those of us without science education (a large group, sadly, in the US). But as the first link shows, "science-y" can also include information presented with just enough PhD-level flash to stun the rest of us into not thinking clearly.
