LETTERS: WHERE ARE THE SAVINGS?
To the editor: In the Missourian's Jan. 29 article, "Doctors plan managed health-care group," there was a statement that the local hospitals were giving prices lowered by 19 percent to the managed-care groups. Perhaps the administrators of the hospitals can explain just how the managed-care groups lower the hospitals' expenses by 19 percent. Or will the cost of these discounts just be shifted to the sick who are independently insured or who are on their own?...

Perhaps I am wrong. Maybe there really is such a think as a free lunch.
