Completely agree, maybe if the USA got rid of the FDA and the whole concept of prescription medicine we'd be able to buy cheap medicine without the all the protectionism that the state bolts on.

I can't tell if your being serious or just trolling.

Oh boy, Wells Fargo is so shitty, most of their page is about their various scandals.

While not all are directly related to healthcare or the FDA, I present this 3 articles as evidence that corporations don't give a shit about you and unless they are kept in check they will happily sell you a faulty or bad product to help their bottom line.

I can produce many many more articles of various scandals if you want. There is plenty of them. Reducing regulation does nothing, but help corporations provide even worse health care to people.

Healthcare should not nor ever be for profit. Its an inelastic good, the so called "free market" doesn't even apply to it.
