title: Group medical practice-an alternative to hospital oligopoly.
abstract: The aim of this article is to provoke dialogue and to initiate change. Costs of health care are alarming. Our inability to respond effectively to the demand for total health care is frustrating. Some drastic changes are required. This article, the first of a series that will enquire into our present methods for providing health care, suggests that in group medical practice some satisfactory solutions may be found.
