The government does need some involvement with healthcare, otherwise there would be no regulations such as licensing and medication testing.
General aviation. General aviation. Say it with me, "General aviation."so you think private companies won't compete for the best service for their customers? i think not. if one company won't go somewhere another one will.
It's way more complex than that. It's not just one guy sitting in a tower telling pilots to take-off and land. You'd be surprised how intricate and complex it is.Why does someone have to govern that?
If you want to control landing and takeoff, let state and local do that. County airports controlled by county air traffic controllers. Private airports by private air traffic controllers.
This idea that Big Brother needs to oversee everything is dumb. The closer the decisions are made to home the better.
Is the medical board private or public?The government has little involvement in licensing and maintaining licensing. It's actually the medical board that does that. The DEA does have control over controlled substances and its prescribing, but it's not doing an awesome job at it. For instance, my wife just had a patient two days ago that has been on methodone for 30 years and is taking a dose of 180mg per day. That is an insane dose, as well as an insane amount of time to be on it. Methodone is used as a treatment plan for heroin addicts that should only take a couple/few months, not 30 fracking years.
This is not an uncommon occurrence either. We see seekers and abusers all over the place, as well as physicians enabling it.
In my state the medical licensing board is under the Dept of Public Health. I think that's fairly typical state to state.Is the medical board private or public?
I wholeheartedly agree that something needs to be done with abuse of medication. Something should be done about lobbying, which is a big issue with everything. I think the FDA needs to be two separate entities. The organization itself is an oxymoron.

Im unsure of your comment, because you can fly a direct route to an airfield. They do have established routes that make it easier to navigate (between VOR's) but you don't have to use them.I dislike the fact that pilots have to fly to the next radar point instead of flying a direct route due to the radar infrastructure being prehistoric. Airlines or the FAA should have updated the system years ago. It would save consumers time, airlines save in not wasting fuel....Then again thats too simple of a solution....
