– Part 2 “The future direction of the nation should be decided before discussing healthcare finance resources.”
– Part 3 “Why is the Medical Association not willing to fight together with the doctors who are supposed to be its supporters?”
– Part 4 “Not every university medical department needs to be a medical school. There should be options.”
