This used to be a big issue in the Soviet Union, but for political instead of financial reasons:

This often veered into straight-up torture, including electric shocks and drugs that caused pain as a means to "cure" people from not believing in communism.

Did you know Electric shock is still a very lucrative business in the USA, while the United Nations has deemed involuntary ECT (which is allowed if court-ordered in the US) as torture?

Meanwhile the FDA recently re-classified ECT as Category 2 "Safe and effective" devices, even though there are hundreds of studies showing they cause long term memory loss.

I'm not even sure why we still haven't reformed the FDA, but it is long overdue.

Or drilling healthy teeth without anesthesia and setting dental fillings so there would be no proof that the teeth was healthy.
