Medicare, on the other hand, decides whether to pay for new technology based on whether a treatment is "medically necessary and appropriate." But as health care expenses rise and entitlement programs grow fiscally strapped - at least one part of Medicare is now expected to be bankrupt by 2019 - more and more academics have called...
