One reason is the inexorable aging of America, as the nation's over-65 population rises from about 28 million today to a projected 35 million by the year 2000. Callahan also blames high-tech research for producing ingenious new operations that remain astronomically pricey even as they become popular and desirable. He proposes a slowdown on developing gimmicky procedures like...
