Instead, they rely on two formidable sets of middlemen: a few giant group-purchasing organizations that negotiate high-volume contracts, and a few giant distributors that buy and store medical supplies and deliver them to hospitals. Proponents of this system say it saves hospitals billions in economies of scale.
Critics say the middlemen not only take their cut, but they have a strong interest in keeping most prices high and competition minimal. The top three group-purchasing organizations now handle contracts for more than half of all institutional medical supplies sold in the United States, including the IVs used in the food-poisoning case, which were bought and taken by truck to regional warehouses by big distributors.
These contracts proved to be another black box. A huge Cardinal distribution center is in Montgomery, N. Among them were families on 10 tour buses that had left Chinatown in Manhattan that morning to watch dragon dances at the monastery. After eating lunch from food stalls there, some traveled on to the designer outlet stores at Woodbury Common, about 30 miles away, before falling sick. The symptoms were vicious. Elizabeth Frost, 73, an anesthesiologist from Purchase in Westchester County who was visiting the monastery gardens with two friends.
About people were taken to hospitals in the region by ambulance; five were admitted and the rest released the same day. Thanks for all your reviews! I saw an ad today by SingTel i. Almost keyed in my details but had the thought to maybe read their reviews first. Found this website and nope, not going to NYSS! Omg i just went for my first free facial at NYSS and i decided to sign a package.
I thought that was really very affordable so i agreed! What should I do now? Idk if i shld continue going or not? My package is just basic clearing of skin aka extractions. They also gave me a free box of sample products? Came with 2 small bottle of toners, 1 facial wash and 1 beauty cream which i think is moisturiser.
My experience so far so good. Their service is excellent the first few sessions. After a while, they seem to get bored with their customers. That happened with me. Since you feel good going there, carry on. I had won a free treatment from planet 49 for a new York skin resolution and I went there for a free treatment after the treatment for 1 hours 30 min I find my skin become good but after 30 min I find that my face started to become more red and also more pimple coming out.
Lucky that I never sign the package. They told me the session will be 2. But it ended with introduce their packages for more than 1 hour, and the free facial treatment only put a cooling mask to my face for 30min. It really proof that no such free things in this world.. Luckily i have read this article before visit them, so i reject all their offer..
You are right man , New York Skin Solutions and their team are liars! Same I have a bad experience in new York skin solutions. Not worth for a try even thought is free. Wasting my time. Thank you so much everyone for this information!
My husband and I are western expats in KL and we found the deal on groupon. We have an appointment scheduled for later today and I had thought to read some reviews online before we go in.
What sparked my suspicion is the fact that the receptionist called us yesterday to reschedule us and she was oddly rude considering they are the ones who over booked and changed our appointment date. After reading these reviews there is no way we are going to go! I am not enjoying any of your session and most hateful of all are your pressured selling and extortionist approaches. In , I was allured by your advertisement on the website and NYSS is still doing its hard-selling and misleading advertisements like your slogan as the following:- Want to understand your skin problems better?
It all sounded good but its is far from good! Well and anyways, you are most welcome to have the remaining of my un-used sessions, back because I DO NOT intend to use them anymore!! You can have the money to open more branches and in training your staff to be hard-sellers and pushes and connive your customers into buying more… more and more by trickery and annoying pestering. Good luck to all your customers! Absolutely agreed with u. Good luck to NYSS potential new customer and do not do not sign up their so called attractive package!
Oh my… The comments here are so bad? Should I go for the appointment being scheduled this coming Friday? LOUSY customer services as well. They pay is come from where, of course from all customer s pocket la. Last, if your skin really have problems I would strongly recommend you go see doctor not sells girls beauticians. They are selling products not take care your skin.
The consultant gave us rude attitude. This is all a lie. The experience in New York skin is so bad. And after which, my friends all advised that it is not only expensive, they are only pushing so hard on sales and neglecting the actual results.
Total regret. I hope somebody read this and not go back to New York skin again! Wow… i actually made an appoinment today at 5pm. But i cancel it yesterday as i cant make it. I heard about their hard selling, but not knowing of the treatment i wanted to give it a try anyway.
They are having a promo of 1st trial free and 1for1 promo wanted me to bring another friend along. So good to be true. Thats what she say. Good that you share — It is true once you go in and try , they will try and trap you to pay an arm and a leg!
I was caught so I am sharing my ordeal! And I was also stupidly sucked in by free trial and free trial facial kit! Yes please write to your Singapore Consumer Rights Association ma. Sue them dead! They are a bunch of cheats! What do you guys think? I appreciate any input! National Skin Centre can treat you well, which it has for me. Once a month is alright.. Thank you!
Because one of my Friend went and was told that there is a three month waiting list! They got me to do blood test to rule out illnesses b4 doing oral treatment paired with the cream treatments.
Honestly no creams can treat without fixing your body internally first.. So good luck, all the best in your healing journey.. I suffer from severe acne from an early age. I got a free facial from a StarHub campaign. Very persuasive Sales staff who will do anything to sign you up on a package. I went on a StarHub promotional free offer of a facial and ended up being forced to purchase a package. On the second session they put a lot of pressure on me to buy additional packages and there was never any improvement to my condition.
It is not uncommon for staff in Sinagpore salons and parlors to force unsuspecting customers to purchase expensive packages.
It is like there is always some campaign and free session for every dollar you spend and as if it is always a bargain to part with a thousand bucks at that moment in time. When I declined and I said I needed to leave, the lady immediately got spiteful and I could sense the fury in everyone at the counter for not succeeding that day.
To all those out there, stay away from places that force you to make decisions against your better judgment and beware of skin or hair treatment sessions that comes free with whatever other things you may have bought.
Never let NYSS and the aggressor beauty parlours make a sucker out of us, okay!!!!! Suck away our very hard earned money! These people were trained to coax and persuade people into signing up for their packages. One of their strategies is to tell you how bad your skin is. Thanks for sharing! I suffered from terrible acne too and in the end I opt for a dermatologists. She wanted me to sign up 30 sessions initially and say 60 sessions will be best. Do you know what 60 sessions can get me a good Honda car?
After swiping my credit card for 15 sessions she kept coercing that I swipe another 15 session to get free products. Never sign up for free trial. I tell you straight, they exaggerated your skin condition, played on women insecurity of age. Painful lesson learnt.. So painful. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Gilead, maker of Sovaldi, has profits of around 50 percent. Biogen, Amgen and other biotech firms have profits of around 30 percent. Merck and Pfizer are seeing profits of 18 percent or more. Even if profits were cut by a third or a half, there would be sufficient incentive to assume the risks of drug development. What should be done? The United States government has created myriad special pricing arrangements that pervert incentives. For instance, Medicaid generally gets the lowest prices in the market.
This discourages drug companies from experimenting with other payers on lower price arrangements, knowing that they will most likely have to give the same deal to Medicaid.
