Is there anything we can do to stop these cartels?

The poor have nothing to worry about, Medicare is fantastic and keeps a large percentage of the population complacent in the feeding of the physician, hospital, and pharmacy cartels.

side note: Medicare is for older people and people with disabilities (regardless of income); you may be thinking of Medicaid, which is a federal/state program for people with low incomes.

No AMA limits on number of doctors who can graduate a year.

Anyone can get a license to open hospitals/clinics of any size.

Entrepreneul people will pair up with top doctors to form great businesses running healthcare.

Need a license. Need to hire cartel workers.

How do you not see the problem?
