To see the chart, click on the link, click on "Click here to read" (in the middle of the newspaper pic) and then scroll to p. 11.

Here's one example; Major Joint replacement
LRGH - $18,600
Frisbee - $11,500
Dover - $14,400
Keene - $12, 000
Portsmouth - $20,800
Concord - $15,900
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could pay for what they needed?

I wonder if the outcomes at each hospital might be different, too?
