ABSTRACT
The response of the powerful American Medical Association (AMA) to health care organizations was fiercely negative, both in medical schools and in the political arena: The mantra was “Group practice is incompatible with good medical care". The AMA and the American Hospital Association have long been against any interference with the free market for health care—other than their own, their control of medical schools and of hospital access. In a safe and sane and decent society, the educational system should also be the means by which human beings could realize their constructive and creative promises. The educational system can also reduce the tendencies toward cruelty and violence and bigotry allowed to prosper by ignorance. The discussion of housing will be even briefer than that on education; the needs are also great, but their origin and their solution are simpler to understand and to enact.
