You are sooooo right.
The gov’t, inept, corrupt, and EXEMPT,
should stay out of health care (except to
register professionals to some standards).
Competition is the way.
My first computer was $30,000; but competition
drove the price down, down, down.
The Constitution mandates the FedGov to guarantee weights and standards. That should be extendable to truth in ingredients and purity of product. I don’t think it covers licensing of any sort.Private organizations would most surely arise that would offer certificates of competence and excellence. There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent states from licensing. When you have a nagging worry that “something might go wrong” as I did for years, consider that with everything the government involves itself in outside of its mandated purview, something always goes wrong, usually all of it and these things don’t get fixed quickly or sometimes at all because they are a matter of bureaucratic and political inertia and face saving.
