Everything government touches turns to shit -- because an entity granted the power to initiate coercion against others ATTRACTS people who WANT that kind of power over others, who then do everything they can to attain and to expand that power.
Trying to stop that natural behavior (of the power-hungry) is like trying to stop the force of gravity.
So imagine true medical freedom, where the FDA and every other forcible agency with power over your ability to make decisions about your own health, were either eliminated or had their power to coerce removed, and free-market alternatives could ALSO make recommendations -- and you could choose among them yourself, or ignore ALL of them and do something entirely different.
