"hit piece by big Pharma" seems a bit overstated. It has the same lack of nuance that an accusation by drug companies often make against AMA as a cartel in defending drug pricing. There are examples of gross abuses and genuine value on both sides of this--and also in hospital administrators and insurance ( did I leave anyone out?) Side note: My personal experience leads me to think that many specialist physicians are more than fairly compensated, and good nurses are less so for their value.
