The Government Against Doctors (and Patients)

The essays in my book The Abolition of Antitrust amply explain why antitrust is bad economics, arbitrary and capricious, conflates economic and political power, and is unjust. And now those laws are being used as a club against productive, innocent doctors.

In order to coerce doctors into Obama's socialized medicine, and to justify the plan's cost "savings," the antitrust division of the DOJ, along with the Idaho attorney general, have forced Idaho orthopedists to accept government price controls.

In a wicked perversion of logic and of economics, the government argues that “government prices are market prices,” and that by refusing to accept government price controls, the doctors are engaged in illegal "price fixing."

Read the entire article. It should dispel any notion that the Obama administration is not bent on enslaving doctors.
