In fact, a 2012 report from the Congressional Budget Office identified bundled payments as the only Medicare payment demonstration project to date that had showed clear savings.

On the positive side, Greece has tidied up its balance sheet (at least the privately held debt), and nearly balanced its budget, excluding interest payments.
