Two Different Worlds

The lead story in the Businss Outlook seciton of the Albuquerque Journal this morning is headlined, "Practical medicine." It's about how young doctors are learning to be businesspeople, in self-defense.
Inside,in a guest column, two leaders of the Health Security for New Mexicans Campaign point out that what passes for a health care system in our state is a great expensive mess. And they call for reform.
Clearly, they don't see the bedrock below the cover story - health care is a commodity like any other and MDs are in a business.
As the song says, two different worlds....
