I was going through some old boxes in my garage and came across the topic magazine. Here is the summary from the table of contents page: The Big Business of Medicine Health care. It's an industry bigger than defense and growing faster than computers. Now a network of companies running everything from hospitals to health spas to street-corner emergency centers is creating such profound change that medicine in America may never be the same again. This new medical-industrial complex, as it is being called, has warmed the hearts of Wall Street investors and turned many medical entrepreneurs into overnight millionaires. But it has also led to higher hospital bills and raised fears among critics that doctors will soon be more sensitive to their corporate bosses than to their patients' best interests.
The authors of this story pretty well called it. The "growing faster than computers" is kind of funny though.
