Anyone who has worked on either the FAP or the FSA Modules is familiar with the phrase "This is a link to an external site and may become unstable". I'm half way through this module and there are already about 4 links that take you to a "Page not found" message (all of them related to Canadian material). Does that disclaimer allow the SOA to just abandon this module? I think they should pay more attention and make sure the materials are still available.

Ya, that's pretty bad.

From two of the working links...

"Projected spending on Medicare for 2005 was almost $99 billion dollars, of which $46 billion (46%) was for hospitals and other institutions, $19 billion (19%) for physician and other professional fees and $9 billion (9%) for prescription drugs. "

"When Medicare was implemented, hospital and physician services were the two major components of health care. Now, these services account for less than half of the total cost of the system. More money is being spent on drugs than on physicians. "

One of these is wrong, since other professional fees is aroun 0.2%.
