Medical Guilds are Bad Medicine

Monopolies, Oligarchy, Elitism, Authoritarianism and Groupthink are hurting patients, driving up costs, blocking innovation, and trampling civil rights

The medieval Guilds and the modern medical boards and societies share the same soul: an oligopoly draped in moral virtue. Both arose from the belief that unregulated chaos harms people, but both evolved into self-sealing monopolies that suppress creative dissent, alternative innovation, and independent thought.

Reforming medicine today demands what once broke guilds centuries ago — transparency, open access, and freedom to practice without institutional permission. If today’s Medical Guilds will not reform themselves, then governmental organizations, such as Congress, the judiciary, or HHS, will step in. To some extent, this is already happening to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Furthermore, transformational technologies like Artificial Intelligence and “Big Data” analytics will replace the current medical guilds, much as the Industrial Revolution destroyed the power of the Medieval Guilds.https://www.malone.news/p/medical-guilds-are-bad-medicine

You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
