what could go wrong? (sarcasm)
The headline alone could infer this is sarcasm or satire. I thought liberals love regulations. Why would they support de-regulation of medical procedures? I’m a conservative but I still believe that some medical regulations are necessary. Just imagine if you are facing a life or death ailment and an unlicensed doctor is going to operate on you. I understand that UN funded hospitals and medical clinics around the globe hire unlicensed doctors. In case you’re curious I have written about how the UN implements ObamaCare:

The vision is back to horse and buggy days. The snake oil salesman comes into the little town with all his snake oil in his wagon. At the rate we’re going it won’t be long.
Back to surgery at the barber shop!! You did know that the red stripes on the barber pole are to symbolize blood, right?
Actually, I’m finding that many nurse practitioners are better suited to see patients. They are more intuitive than many of the docs that can’t speak English.
For much of the USA’s history, doctors couldn’t do much more than set broken bones and sew up cuts, or bleed you to death as a ‘treatment’. That all changed with the advent of penicillin and other modern pharmaceuticals. Doctors could suddenly save lives and extend lifetimes. However, many state and US laws were passed which restricted the ability to prescribe these lifesaving medications to an elite few. Suddenly, only graduates of a few medical schools could do this, and the doctor’s associations limits the admissions to even these. It seems to me like some balance might be in order.
Allowing Janitors to diagnose patients would really drive down costs.
Just saying.
Doubling the number of residency slots and greatly increasing the number of medical school slots, allowing supply to meet the demand of people who want to become doctors would be better long term.
Next step will be totally pitting doctors against patients as doctors attempt to survive by insisting patients pay their bills BEFORE seeing a doctor... Oh wait, that’s already started:
The horror after that will be ‘insurance’ will be taken directly out of citizens paychecks ... or checking accounts.
Then the moaning about ‘entitlement programs’ starts: middle class people will be ‘means tested’ out of the program, but they’ll have to continue paying for it.
Doctors? It’ll take a two year degree and many citizens will die and or be maimed.
