Thread: Are We Incrementally Losing Our Freedom?

Besides what MistressNomad said about hypochondriacs and people with recognized psychological disorders, I'll just mention that we already have overprescription of antibiotics, overprescription of Ritalin and various psychotropics for children, and far too many C-sections, to name a few examples, under our expensive system of for-profit health insurance. On a casual reading it may very well seem logical that cheaper and more readily available medical care would lead to overuse, but in fact the experience of countries that have such care (the entire developed world except us) doesn't appear to bear that out.
