It is one of the most un-free markets in America, with predictably disastrous results. Sure, those laws prevent a few people from being duped by charlatans, but they also prevent people like me - who are willing to sit on the phone for hours and days, and willing to do research for weeks on end - the possibility of a longer life. Sounds like a pitch for medical tourism (traveling to another country for certain kinds of medical procedures at a fraction of the cost of the US)
