Some colleges are responding to the economy by offering degrees in three years instead of the usual four.
Is that a kernel of an idea for health care providers blessed with lower-than-average lengths of stay? Consumers understand that longer lengths of stay usually mean higher charges. Will they respond to a "Go THERE and stay 5 days; come HERE, stay 3 and save some money..." message, I wonder?
I'll sit back and wait for all the "Yes, but..." e-mails to roll in.

Maybe, with university endowments suffering the same poor returns as parent's college savings plans, schools will resort to a buy 3 get one free model to compete? Let the dropouts subsidize the graduates in their final year (grin)
Really impressed with your blog...great stuff!
