A 'duh!' moment

In Health Care, Cost Isn’t Proof of High Quality

No kidding?

(quote)
In a Pennsylvania government survey of the state’s 60 hospitals that
perform heart bypass surgery, the best-paid hospital received nearly
$100,000, on average, for the operation while the least-paid got less
than $20,000. At both, patients had comparable lengths of stay and death
rates.
(end of quote)

Wouldn't you think that getting paid 5 times as much means you're five
times as good? No.
