Dear reader,

All week, we've been publishing stories on what's wrong with
the business of health care, and how corporations find new ways to
bolster their profits even at the expense of providing adequate patient
care. As corporate boardrooms cut costs to line shareholder pockets,
both doctors and patients are at a disadvantage. Is there a way out?

For our August 2023 issue, Harold Meyerson wrote about the growing trend
of doctors unionizing. The profession once saw themselves as wholly
separate from the labor movement, but lately increasing numbers of
doctors are turning to unionization to advocate for themselves and their
patients. Interns and residents are part of what polling reveals to be
the most pro-union generation in nearly 60 years, and they have won
organizing victories in some of America's most prestigious hospitals.

This story is part of our ongoing series on the business of health
care-the inner workings of the monopolies and cartels extracting
ever-greater sums for ever-lousier outcomes, and the policies and
protocols pushing doctors and nurses to the brink. You can read the
entire series here. <[link removed]>
