Deregulate Doctors

President Trump is right about one thing: the reason healthcare is so expensive is that it is too tightly regulated. The Senator, working closely with the President and a panel of corporate CEOs, has created a new medical care paradigm. Under this innovative plan, all alternative types of medicine would be allowed, anyone will be able to practice (it is called practice, after all), and competition with traditional medical "professionals" will thus help to lower costs. 

The American Medical Association works to limit the number of physicians by putting up artificial barriers to those who can get into medical schools. Limiting the number of doctors naturally decreases competition and increases wages and medical expenses. 

Senator Sky Damon would work to immediately deregulate medicine and allow anyone to practice, regardless of age or education, following the old Chinese model (except, we Americans prefer to keep our shoes on). This will flood the marketplace with newly-minted doctors. The legislation would also require insurance companies to pay for all alternative medicine, up to and including cranio-sacral therapy, reflexology, therapeutic touch/Reiki, and of course, prayer. 

Medicine will be cheap, and the only check on it will be caveat emptor. This will naturally have no negative impact on the quality of care received by our most valued citizens, the wealthy, who give so much to this great country; anyone with the means will be able to retain their existing physicians.
