You only think it's moving fast. I bought one right before I left
Kansas and in a few years it's beleived that many invasive
diagnostic
procedures like angiography and cardiac catherizations are going to
be
done on those machines. They ain't cheap with a 1.5 Short Bore
magnet
and basic software package going for around 1.4 million.

As to money for healthcare, it's being used to buy advertising in
the
presidential election.

And fly rods.......and books.
