Medicine Is Already Socialized says Sacramento lawmaker
Assemblyman Edwin L. Zberg argues hospitals and doctors must rethink their roles in society as Medicare expands.

He says hospitals were built by charity and public duty, and doctors owe gratitude for training funded by government and taxes. The piece notes doctors’ lives of service but blames bureaucracy and public misperception, urging reform and cooperation with Medicare.
