The race was a challenge put forth by His Highness the Aga Khan, aimed at popularising aviation in India.

A fascinating chapter from India's aviation history takes us back to 1930 when a young 25-year-old JRD Tata participated in a daring solo flight race from India to England.

"Patients are more likely to choose a high-cost, low-quality hospital when their admitting physician's practice is owned by that hospital."

But as large health systems seize an ever-growing share of the market, they accumulate more leverage to demand higher prices from patients and insurers. And they're not shy about using it. When a hospital acquires a physician practice, prices for healthcare services increase by more than 14%, according to research published in the Journal of Health Economics.

Those higher costs don't translate to higher salaries for doctors. A recent Health Affairs study found that a physician's salary actually decreases after his or her practice is acquired by a hospital. Doctors in some specialties experience average salary cuts of nearly $10,000 after a hospital takes over their practice.

Corporatization of medical practices.

Patients and providers should lament the increasing corporatization of medicine. All too often, it's a recipe for lower-quality, higher-priced health care.
