What do you mean by "monopoly" exactly? It's a vague term both legally and in vernacular. Which medical monopolies are you referring to? Every facet of healthcare in the US can be seen as monopolized. AMA license requirements for doctors are a monopoly... Insurance is monopolized by regulatory compliance... Drug research is monopolized by patents. Are you talking about insurance companies? Healthcare providers? Drug manufacturers? The whole bunch?
