Healthcare Marketplace Project. "How Changes in Medical Technology Affect Health Care Costs." Www.kff.org. The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, Mar. 2007. Web. 09 Apr. 2012. http://www.kff.org/insurance/snapshot/chcm030807oth.cfm.
Advances in medical technology of any kind are extremely expensive and, like any good capitalist economy, those costs are passed onto the consumer of said technologies. This article is sponsered by a foundation, so there needs to be caution for bias, but the information given is an interesting overview of diffusion of cost in the US healthcare system and the factors affecting it.
