a: American medical association ~
b: a cartel.... that has restricted health care
What: "The American Medical Association is like a cartel or Union that has restricted the supply of health care driving up prices, along with the cartel of drug companies tht use the FDA to restrict supply of medicines. This is about to get much worse as the ratio of over 65 to working age population drops from 1:3 to 1:2 over the next 20 years. An increasing percentage of the health care will be paid by the Government with dollars they create out of thin air."
