Last # I saw was 49 mil from Atnea, 2011 number....


#1 The projection of the 5.8% included 2011 to 2022.

#2 We spend more per capita because of the advanced diagnostic and treatment
regimens we have, many used to protect the physician from law suites when
lesser cost tests etc. would be enough . Thus the need for Tort reform.

#3 Atnea just dropped out of NJ because of Obamacare so evidently they are
concerned about rising costs and less profits.
