    I think the biggest hurdle is the "license to practice medicine" that

    Possible reforms:
    [] Eliminate licensing, and have patients sign waivers, not unlike

    (which are not licensed, but duck criminal culpability just the same).
    [] Establish state or national exams, for bestowing credentials, ending
    monopoly of medical schools.
    [] Eliminate the "controlled substance" laws, and have people sign waivers
    of liability to purchase harmful or narcotic substances for themselves.
    [] End abusive medical education and internships.
    [] Abolish "practicing medicine without license" laws.
    [] Open medical / health care education to everyone.

    And just how will this improve medical care? What would medicine look
    like without any ethical, professional, scientific or educational standards,
    and if in addition, any fear of litigation was removed? (Which,
    incidentally, the signing of waivers doesn't.)

    Or is this a joke --- you are sending the previous correspondent up?
