Description

THE CALIFORNIA health care scene is getting nastier and more contentious as conflict resolution shifts from negotiation to litigation. Major players are deciding that they have little to lose and potentially much to gain by going to court. Several recent actions illustrate this trend. * In late 1998, the California Medical Association joined a physician lawsuit against UCLA School of Medicine, charging the school with violating the state bar against the corporate practice of medicine. This case tested the liberties and limits of academically based medical groups and marked the first time that our state medical association had gone to court against one of our medical schools. Then CMA President, Robert Reid, MD, said, "It is with great regret that we join this suit....We are strong supporters of the U.C. system....We are also aware of the problems the U.C. system faces in funding graduate medical education. But this is not the way to solve those problems." (1)
