Challenging the Medical Guild: Speaking Truth to Power

Kudos to Matt Yglesias for being one of the very, very few to suggest that the root of problems with publicly provided health care is the monopoly power of doctors.

It is inconceivable that we will achieve real patient centred care or cost containment until we wrest power and the rent-seeking incentives that go with it from the medical profession. Doctors have no more right than any other group to control over their clients lives or the public purse.
