Has it ever occurred to you that the Medical Industry is a legally mandated monopoly?

Did you know it is a felony if you try to order a medical lab test for yourself?

Ever wonder why the health care system is collapsing?

Shouldn’t the licensing entity be responsible for the licensees actions?

a) Our health care system is NOT collapsing. That is leftist, statist propaganda. The vast majority of Americans get excellent health care. Costs continue to increase, which is a problem, but the system is not “collapsing”.

b) The problems with our healtcare system have NOTHING to do with the fact that we require medical licenses for physicians.

c) The medical industry is not a “monopoly”. There are thousands and thousands of different providers, operating independently of one another.

d) Can you please cite the law that says it is a felony to order a lab test for oneself?

Hold on there. In what State? In many if not all states, an individual may request a blood count, urinalysis, basic chemistry panel and thyroid testing at their own expense from any lab. I was just in a lab Tuesday and there was sign at the check-in desk proclaiming this.

Furthermore, unlicensed practice of medicine is a misdemeanor or a civil offense in most states unless someone is harmed.

You seem to have a real axe to grind against the medical profession.
