Francis Bacon is credited with the statement “…knowledge is power….”

If one accepts this precept, then Steven Sonenreich, chief executive of Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach is arming his customers/patients with quite a bit of power. Sonenreich is going to publish the prices his hospital charge patients for virtually all of their procedures.
