Time to shed the shackles!
It's Time for Doctors to Unionize
"In 1972, Dr. Sanford A. Marcus, a surgeon in private practice, formed the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD). It has been the most successful physician union and is affiliated with the AFL-CIO. A quote from their website is apropos: "Hospital administrators easily manipulated physicians, treating them as if they were hired hands. Insurance companies were dealing with them as if they were employees. Government programs ... controlled key aspects of doctors' work, told them how much they would be paid, and what procedures they would be paid for." This sentiment sounds familiar."
