To Villa, the model seemed refreshingly subversive. The Surgery Center would charge $19,000 for his whole-knee replacement, a discount of nearly 50% on what Villa expected to be charged at his local hospital. And that price would include everything from airfare to the organization's only facility, in Oklahoma City, to medications and physical therapy.

Q: Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibrium equation CO2(g) CO2(aq) K=0.032 The acid dissociation constants listed in most standard reference texts for carbonic acid actually apply to dissolved CO2.
CO2 can form hydrogen bonds with water, but its linear shape makes it a nonpolar molecule. This means that carbon dioxide is less soluble in water than polar molecules are. The solubility of carbon dioxide is increased when the water is cold, and decreased greatly when the water is warm. NOTE: Possibly confusing is a molecule like O_2, which has no bonds between O and H, but rather just a double bond between the two atoms of oxygen.
