With the guv being the stalwart number cruncher he is, what better way is there to help contain patient costs after the federal government begins to scale back its "contribution", then by containing the number of patients your new entitlement will cover?

Think Sections 3403 and 10320 in the PPACA.

You most likely associate it with the military making equipment and personnel less visible to detection methods.

But did you know that this is also a tactic used in the business world?

This situation has become very fluid over the past several days.

Don't have a scorecard?

Here's a quick round-up.
