RE: What if cheeseburgers were like healthcare?

First, doctors went and petitioned the govern-cement to impose licensing for doctors, because doctors were bidding the price down too much.

Next, a snake oil salesman took over those licensing institutions and taught snake oil medicine.

And finally, the pharmaceutical industry found it better to treat illnesses instead of curing them.

So, at last we get to what you discuss. Where govern-cement has decided certain burgers should cost 10¢ and other burgers should cost $15. The real doctors lose out if they only do what is really necessary, not even making their costs. But the fake doctors can keep people on pills for life

Sort:  

if people paid out of pocket at the hospital a Tylenol wouldn't cost $50 there.
