only sixty primary care physicians per 100,000 population, far below the ratio of 133 such doctors per 100,000 persons recommended as necessary to provide adequate primary care.^°
- A congressional report estimated
that in 1974 approximately 2.4 million unnecessary operations were performed in this country, resulting in 11,900 avoidable deaths and a cost of $3.9 billion.'*
