Basically, the formula would restrict the amount of money that a hospital could collect from patients.

Marius would do well to concentrate his reforming energies on these far more serious drawbacks to the program, so that Harvard's required Expository Writing course will begin to turn out accomplished, or at the very least, competent, writers, as it is supposed...
