$360 Million seems like a huge number.
Over 4 years, it comes to $90M/year.
On a per patient basis, it's $1600/year.
Given the cost of medical care these days, that's probably about 6 minutes in an Operating Room, per patient.
6 minutes here, 6 minutes there ... pretty soon we're talking about real money.
