Abstract
The health care delivery system and health insurance has radically changed over the last twenty years. These changes have created much dissatisfaction among the medical community. Many physicians feel that the insurer has a greater voice in what medical care their patients receive than physicians do. One solution advocated by a growing number of physicians is the formation of physician unions for collective bargaining purposes. This Note will explore the current laws that govern such unions, including the antitrust laws and the exemptions to them, such as the labor laws, that allow others to unionize and engage in collective bargaining. This Note will also explore the conditions under which physicians today are allowed to unionize and propose a change in those laws that would take a fact-specific analytical approach to each market and allow collective bargaining by physicians if certain market conditions exist.
