    Inflation and the ever rising cost of healthcare.

    "Ohhhh, dismemberment. Yeah, I'm afraid that surgery costs an arm and a leg, and you look a little... short. NEXT!" #thiscyborglife

    Too bad I didn't see this article back in May 2008. I would have short-sold the crap out of the 6 million dollar man. #thiscyborglife

    So, $6M/.23 = just shy of $26.1M today.

    Wolfram Alpha says that a dollar in 2008 would be worth $1.02 today, so the value of a dollar really hasn't shifted all that much since the CNN report. #thiscyborglife
