Collectivizing the Hospital

Medical attention and hospital care, on the face of things, are intensely personal. One might expect that the mass age’s passion for centralization and consolidation would affect the realm of medicine, therefore, only in the later stages of collectivism. But let me inform you, gentle reader, that American hospitals are in clear and present danger of falling under the total domination of bureaucracy and de personalization. Many local, voluntary, and charitable hospitals will be abolished within the next twelve months—yes, as rapidly as all that— if no more effective opposition is roused.
