Answer and Explanation:

The regulated medical community continued to stay unregulated by corporate organizations, insurance companies, and clinics while retaining the right of doctors to remain uncontrolled from clinics and insurance firms maintained an important feature in Modern medicine.

Specific physicians engaging in private practice were disciplined by the medical profession and forced to leave these practices; freedom from corporate control further strengthened private enterprise and positioned physicians in an enviable competitive position with these organizations.
