Sacred cows and Trojan horses: the Dunlop Commission report

Article Abstract:

Most of the recommendations issued by the Dunlop Commission in its Jan. 1995 report look backward to the 1930s amd 1940s, an era when government strongly intervened in labor markets. Likewise, the commission's recommendations seek to revitalize the declining private sector union movement. Other recommendations, such as expedited representation elections, government intervention in first contract settlements, and union access to shopping malls during the run-up to an election, were patterned after Canadian labor policies.

Back to the future: Medicare's resurrection of the labor theory of value

Article Abstract:

Medicare's new reimbursement fee schedule, the resource-based relative value scale, is based on an updated version of the old labor theory of value. While it attempts to rectify market distortions in the health care delivery system by quantifying and ranking the 'value' of a doctor's labor, the payment system ignores consumer demand and makes no distinction regarding physicians' skills.
