When alcohol was "prohibited" it gave birth to a booming business of illegal alcohol manufacturing and transport, a black market...Organized crime. The government said "You can not have alcohol!" The American people said; "Wanna bet?"
It would seem that when anything is made illegal or prohibited, it creates a "black market" for these goods and/or services. Alcohol during Prohibition. Drugs. Guns. You name it!
Why am I comparing this to health care? Hmmmm.
If the availability of good health care or the costs of said health care become "prohibitive," people will look elsewhere to have their needs met, as they always have. All we have to do is look around us for the "efficiency" of socialized medicine. Canada, the UK, etc. Waiting lines, denial of treatment and God knows what else.
Alright, unlicensed doctors, here's where you come in! Didn't pass medical school? No problem! Had your license pulled for malparactice? No problem! Now you can service the desperate in need of treatment and care for...Name your price! Fantastic, yes?! Now you can move back up from South America and make money here, practicing black market medicine in the good ol' US of A!
Welcome back "doctors!"
