We need medical competition in this country. A new procedure, cure, technique, etc...- just doesn't come out of the same old system. This isn't any grand new insight- we know Detroit is the zombie car industry, held aloft by big government. For most of my life Japan was the big innovator and now we see Korea coming up fast.
The slow to innovate say the new stuff is quackery or that it is snake oil, and it may be, but the reason why snake oil and quackery should be legal is that eventually the medical equivalent to the model-T will show up and wipe out that medical buggy whip industry. The old medical industry cozies up to government and attempts to limit competition in the name of health, but they are far more interested in their pills being the only legal way to provide yourself with relief.
Speaking of snake oil, I wonder which sort of snakes are the oilest? Where does one procure a snake oil press? I can envision a short career of ironic honesty. Of course, they'd send the government in to shut me down when it turned out snake oil was good for something.
