Death through strangulation by red tape.

Isn't there some offshore medical tourism site to send your sample (blood?) for such things? Have they made it illegal for me to send a blood sample abroad yet?

This is my perception of much of medicine in the US. Government, guilds, and corporations working together to increase the cost of medical care 10X and retard medical progress 1/10X.

Do you have any other specific examples of known possible treatments and diagnostics squashed by the regulatory state?
