Unfortunately, government policies intended to help the private sector are too often similar to the attempts of the medical profession of 200 years ago to improve health. In those days, a visit to the doctor or hospital was likely to make you worse rather than better. Governments would be wise to follow the oath taken by physicians, which is "First, do no harm."
