			grown rich and powerful, bringing the economic and political
			influence of insurance companies, banks, and industrial corporations into active support for retaining the private medical market.

			*CONCLUSION
			American society is faced with a health system that is at once
			expensive and incapable of serving the important health needs of
			Epilogue I 239
			the population. Despite many decades of efforts to make
			medicine more effective and improve its accessibility, the system
			seems to remain impervious to fundamental change. The reform
			efforts, however, are themselves fundamentally flawed.
