Quote:That wouldn't work here either. But mainly because even if you take the FDA out of the picture, the insurance companies would immediately take control and make the rules so we'd be in the same situation as now. For a country that prides itself on freedom, when it comes to medical care, we are at the mercy of insurance companies for the most part. I'm sure there is more that we can do on our own that I am not aware of. Not to paint the wrong picture as most doctors here will listen and you do have some say in treatments but they are also at the mercy of insurance companies and the FDA.

They try to create such a system over here also, because they think it will be cheaper, which is not so, but there is quite some opposition here in NL against it.
