Will the free market bring exploitation?
Abstract
The forum on the Free Market in Medicine, held at the 5th GP Congress, is reported on elsewhere in this issue. The debate is important as we are entering a period in which the Cabinet seems set on a course of privatization, even in health care. Investors, mostly from outside the medical field, remind them regularly of the benefits of privatization.
