Carmichael, Lynn P. – Phylon, 1977
Discusses the current trend toward a corporate health care system in which services are often paid for by a third party (insurance company or government). Says this results in the consumer's loss of control over the quality and type of health care rendered. Recommends adoption of a federated health care system. (GC)
