MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

[摘要] The fees of private physicians, ... are rising because of the failure of both doctors and insurance companies to control them; more and more doctors face conflicts of interest between their duty to their patients and their quest for high incomes based on expanding technologies and unneccessary medical procedures; and the nation is producing far too many specialists whose narrow focus raises the costs of health care even more astronomically ... the future independence—[of American physicians] and the welfare of their patients— are profoundly threatened by the growth of doctors as businessmen whose profit-making ownership of health care facilities is creating an enromously expensive "medical-industrial complex."
