in the United States the AMA is the doctors union that keep the number of available medical personnel artificially low to keep the profits up. the medical schools work with them to basically keep the numbers at replacement rates.
As long as the gov't says way from protecting the union, so what? If the gov't is protecting the union, then that's piling more unconstitutional gov't on top of unconstitutional gov't. Illegality on top of illegality. For what? Better healthcare? HA!
Gov't doesn't care a whit about your health, only increase of income for the bureaucracy. In fact there's a great part of gov't that thinks it's better if you just die.
The voluntary cooperation DIRECTLY between doctors and patients is by far the best quality and value in healthcare in the world. Otherwise, hello DMV [death]care.
