Abstract
Iglehart's analysis of government support for graduate medical education (Feb. 5 issue)1 contains a quotation from Gail Wilensky. The critical question she raises deserves a vigorous response: Why should the government, or for that matter the insurance industry, support graduate medical education? Her statement makes it sound as though no profession other than medicine receives the equivalent of postgraduate support. How wrong she is! Who supports the work of the countless number of legal clerks for the judiciary? Who supports government interns? Does she not recognize that the largest program for training commercial jet pilots is conducted through the military, not through private courses?
