The Cordis infuses *much* faster than a triple lumen CVC for reasons that are predicted by the Poiseuille equation: - it's wider - it's shorter and - it only has one lumen instead of 3 (remember the '7 Fr' triple lumen catheter is really a compilation of 3 smaller catheters)

Notably this is framed as a government savings of $4B+ and not as a funding redesign that increases the payline by renegotiating indirects (aka reinvesting that "saved" $4B in research proposals that there has not been enough funding for previously).

Emergency healthcare costs for undocumented individuals are no where near ā€œthe primary driverā€ of American health care costs. If you would like to learn more, I recommend any intro textbook to healthcare economics, or consulting a health policy expert.
