"New Legislation Affecting the Medical Profession"
Current debates over health care reform represent only the latest transformations of health insurance and financing over the last half-century.
This slideshow presents meeting posters dating from 1954 to 1979 from the archives of the Essex County Medical Society. At these meetings, local physicians learned about such radical new concepts as Medicare and HMOs.
Then, as now, change was constant.
