One Way To Cut Costs: Eliminate Spell-Checking

Intelligent Design Awards recognize those contributions which most set back evolution of the disease management and wellness fields. Just as engineers say that more is learned from a single bridge which collapses than from 100 which stay up, there are serious lessons to be learned from these humorous failures. (Note: DMPC is officially neutral on Intelligent Design vs. Evolution in general. Just not in disease management and wellness.)

The following is from The High Road: www.cut-healthcare-cost.com/faq.html#q5

  1. Do you have examples from companies that have been able to cut their health care cost by 30% - 50%?

    Yes, there are several companies that have been able to cut their health care costs by 30 - 50%. A well know example is Lincoln Plating, a mid-size manufacturing company in Nebreska.

P.S. It should also go without saying that a 30%-50% reduction in health care costs is, of course, impossible with a wellness program. However, since there seem to be a few well-know companies in Nebreska who believe this, we feel compelled to say it anyway. Also, just in case those well-know companies in Nebreska are reading this, we might as well debunk another myth which they may believe too: There is no such thing as a tooth fairy.
