Let's take the PSLIM from Accuplace. About a month ago you could purchase this for $5K. Now that Thermo has acquired distribution rights it costs over $10K and nothing has changed. To me, it is better to sell 10 at $5K than 5 at $10K. We were ready to purchase several more of these, but have to reconsider our options now. No wonder Healthcare costs are out of control.

We have enjoyed our relationship a number of years buying there product as we need it. We also have changed detection kits as we where advised. Now they are telling us that if we do not go with price per slide they will raise our costs of purchasing our supplies. Example EnVision + dual link system last year cost 1,580.70 this year 3,300 and that this will go in effect March 1st ( just talked to the rep about this Tues) Just 1 example. SOOOO. Has anyone else had this happen to them and what did you do?
