how right you are

I think about these things all the time having done navigation work in the cancer world. But this problem exists in so many situations and with a large aging population it is becoming a big deal. I agree that insurance companies. practices, hospitals would benefit from offering these services and that is the bottom line so often. You are a good guy Rich!
