If I do need to say more, then what is bad about this is the risk of the doctor's fiduciary duty to the patient being compromised by the corporate bottom line. Perhaps you can argue that when doctors are self-employed this same potential exists. However, I think in practice that when doctors are employees of corporations and their salaries and promotions are determined by a corporation, the risk is greater that the doctor will compromise their fiduciary duty to the patient to promote the goals of the corporation.

Isn't this argument just as valid regarding large law firms?
