Cost Containment by a Naval Armada

To the Editor: Maloney and Reemtsma (June 27 issue)* present a creative and innovative approach to cost containment and the oversupply of physicians. Perhaps a similar approach could be used for the decapitation of law schools and a lawyer bank. If the legal profession and the medical profession work together rather than in opposition, perhaps the federal deficit could be eliminated and taxes cut simultaneously. There might even be sufficient surplus to create jobs, housing, and food, so that health could even be improved.
