Perhaps a way to reduce health care costs?

ABOVE a valley in Pennsylvania sits an old hospital that gives an optimistic hint about the future of American health care. Geisinger Health Systems was founded in 1915 but is as adaptable and creative as a start-up. It has invented new ways to offer services: it provides heart surgery, for example, at a fixed price and with a warranty. (If there are complications within 90 days, you pay nothing to fix them.)
 It seems that the total program has some kinks to iron out, but anything to help bring down the costs of health care is okay in my book.  Full link here.
