You don't have enough personal experience perhaps to know licensing is more about power and protectionist rakets than the claimed purpose. My dad was a doctor

My dad was a doctor who lost his license (nothing dramatic or gossip-worthy involved). He was primarily treating opiate addicts with something called Suboxone. It is sensitive enough that the state puts a hard limit on patients you can have - 100. This means people who need the treatment are often on waiting lists because the doctors who have the qualification to write Suboxone are often at their 100 patient limit. Father told the medical board they need to find placements for his 100 patients or they will end up dead WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. Medical board couldn't give two shits since that's not their problem, last we know at least three died within 4 months or so of not being able to find a new doctor.
- specialist 5y agoThe solution to regulatory capture is to abolish regulations?
- brianwawok 5y agoRight. Specific regulations can be bad and implemented poorly. That is a far jump from no regulations.
