Dr. Martin Cherkasky, the crusading director of New York's Montefiore Hospital, says that doctors have the consumer over a barrel because they are in such short supply and such great demand.

They have to pay interns and residents halfway decent salaries ($9,000 to $12,000 in some areas).

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Board has moved to tighten the money supply. After growing at an annual rate of more than 7% in late 1968, the supply rose...
...Administration and the preceding Johnson Administration have intended. As McCracken said in Paris last week: "In general, we are now on the right course in economic policy. The budget is back under control. Money and credit policy is tracking about right. But we have had three years of excessive demand, and it naturally takes time to regain your balance...
