Dear editor:If you were one of those people who thought that the government taking over the medical care business was our worst fear, think again. In plain sight, the conglomerate medical industry has taken over that role, and they are in an even better position to take away your best interests when it comes to personal medical care than is the government. If you thought the Affordable Care Act would dictate to you the kind of medical care you would get, you have greater fears to address from medical systems like Novant.
