“If you look at a graph of what ancillary care spend looks like between 1980 and today, ancillary care spend in 1980 was roughly 25% of the overall healthcare spend at that point in time in the nation, today it represents north of 30% which makes it a nearly $600 billion market for services. It is taking a larger share of the pie and is expected to do so over time. For us we feel like we are uniquely positioned in the space. We are not aware of another business similar to ours...” - Steven J. Armond (XSI) (Interview published April 18, 2008)
