Curious about the saline solution problem, it appears 0.9% concentration is available for roughly $10/L on internet marketplaces, likely can be manufactured much cheaper, but getting it for that price in a US hospital might be a challenge.
- mindfulplay 7y agoMy point is the insane supply chain costs that permeate the insurance, hospital and medical manufacturing industry. I used the saline solution as an example based on an LA Times investigation that found out saline solution is charged 1000$+. Again a very hard problem as it involves innovating across the board in boring ways.
