In fact, Milton Friedman was on record as being opposed to having a system of medical licensure. I guess if you go to a quack for surgery and end up dead then "next time" you'll choose a different doctor...

Ironically, one of the mechanisms he thought would ensure that only competent doctors would stay in business is malpractice lawsuits, whereas today right-wingers are trying to limit the ability to sue for damages, both in medicine and in other areas as well.
