LETTER
Access to Health Care
Henry Greenberg
1 February 1993 | Volume 118 Issue 3 | Pages 232-235
TO THE EDITOR:
If the authors of the ACP position paper had been optimistic types, they would have listed excellence first, not third. Although many specifics of proposed health care plans will be questioned, challenged, and changed, the ACP plan must preserve that one characteristic.
The American automobile industry lost its excellence and now we pay a terrible price for it. Although we may be able to regain excellence and rebuild markets for automobiles, the ability to restructure excellence in medicine, once lost, will take decades, not years, to regain.
