I'll have to do some searching about that, but it's a commonly held opinion taught at med schools throughout the country. I guess I shouldn't pass on info that I haven't seen myself, but I have a feeling that this is true since the most expensive part of medical care is ICU care. Add in all of the daily radiologic examinations, specialists charges and long length of stay, and the bills get astronomical. I'll post if I find anything definitive.
