[Cryptography] New task for the NSA

[Jerry Leichter]

The NY Times has done a couple of reports over the last couple of months about the incomprehensibility of hospital bills, even to those within the industry - and the refusal of hospitals to discuss their charge rates, claiming that what they will bill you for a treatment is "proprietary".

Clearly, it's time to sic the NSA on the medical care system's billing offices.  Let them do something really useful for a change!
