I should add that what used to be a really, REALLY, big operation for elective repair, has become a routine procedure done in radiology, with the patient going home the next day with only a 3-4" incision in the groin. Have I mentioned, I hated this operation? I'd rather do a heart.

Patriot or pinhead?

Correct. They have not waivered from their course since 1979. This is just a tantalizing carrot for a feckless administration.
