The equity model: three commentaries.
In the current ferment of health care reform, advocates of most proposals agree that one of the goals to be achieved is maintaining an environment in which physicians and other caregivers can be comfortable.

While all express concern over potential loss of physicians' autonomy and control, they see the threat as coming from different sources.
