I hope it’s possible Medicine was coopted by big government when wage controls in WWII and ERISA allowed health insurance favorable tax treatment. Medicare came along in 1964 and completed the takeover.
These actions removed the true doctor patient relationship and added a third party Eventually this 3rd party took over Now note who is left out...the patient is most helpless because they “pay” so little to the system but actually pay for it!
Government regulations are the biggest barrier because thanks to licensing requirements most doctors and nurses are beholden to complying somewhat with whatever bs government imposes.
