The troubled road to universal health care.
In our country the increasing commercialization of medicine is taking control of our medical school faculties, hospitals, and education. There is an overemphasis on health care efficiency, with a dramatic decrease in the commitment to research, an increase in the cost of medical education and resultant staggering student debt, an increasing number of medically uninsured, and an ever-widening gap between the best that American medicine can offer and that which the indigent receive.
