Discount Heart Surgery














The WSJ today detailed an Indian surgeon named Devi Shetty that has revolutionized heart surgery through economies of scale. He plans to open a 2000 room Cardiac facility in Grand Cayman.

He will hire only the world's top surgeons. Here is the amazing part, with Shetty's setup, an open heart surgery costs $2,000 instead of the $20,000 or $40,000 it might in the United States.
