Homeopathy doctors are the best, I hear. You should see one.
Cool story bro.

They have no government dictated licenses, so they're right up your alley.
No, it's not an artificial ceiling created by the AMA. The limited number of medical schools is the result of an AMA imposed ceiling. THe limited number of residency programs is the result of economic decisions by the hospitals.
If you want to argue that eliminating licensure standards for physicians is an acceptable reason to defund residency programs, well I wish you luck with that shitshow of an argument.
ITT we learn that the real problem with the healthcare system is doctors needing to be licensed.
Those goddamn licensing standards are tearing us apart! The standardization of medical practice is an abomination of human endeavor!Yes, they did. The AMA created what's effectively a union of physicians in 1847 that presided over the licensing standards and uniformity for medical education. The limit to the number of people that can practice under the same scope of care as MDs is the AMA.
If that constraint didn't exist then you wouldn't need hospitals to set up training programs to train MD level clinicians to the arbitrary standard of licensing established by the AMA. You would have several vouching organizations and training programs, whose reputation, and frankly existence is upheld by the caliber of clinician they sign off on to practice. That exists in the same way that someone's degree from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, or [Insert Ivy League] carries more weight than from DeVry university.
If anyone could call themselves a doctor, we wouldn't have a shortage of doctors. The poor could afford these 'doctors' and everyone would have access to healthcare. Once one of these 'doctors' killed enough people to get a enough 1 star yelp reviews the market would put them out of business. But don't worry, the families could sue them for damages (jokes... liability caps would be in place to stop massive payouts - can't have pesky accountability distort the market).

Brb heading down south to see a border quack about a kidney issue.This is just a function of whether you think the quality that you see in your products is a result of government or the producer of the product you're buying. In which case, you have to ask who stands to lose more if you decide not to buy it, Government or the Business?

Well obviouslyIf he's a quack and he's shady, would you trust him with your life and your health? I suppose everyone else would though right? I always knew you were the wise overlord everyone was looking to for all their decision making.

I believe a number of non obvious to the consumer quality standards are met are due to Govt regulation. Child Labour laws - Govt regulation.
There was a thread about it before I think. It's a fairly obvious statement. Its an investment firm talking about where the most money is to be make. Not surprised.So for the third time
Nobody wants to talk about this?

Let's start with the first one you listed. The market provided (with increases in productivity) for us to be able to allow children not to work. That's demonstrable, because the government cannot legislate into existence a higher standard of living.
This thread? EVERY THREAD.LOL @ odb in this thread.

Sure, and you can show how child labour (mostly) ended not when regulation was passed, but prior to that as productivity grew right? Just like the 8 hour day came about not by regulation, but when producers had enough money they allowed their workers to work less.
You can show how animal welfare standards across the industry are unnecessary because all large scale operations treat their animals well above what is allowed?
Yes, because our current productivity standards all allow for them. Establish any of these in a place like Nigeria. Are they going to improve their lives or are you just going to starve out the population (assuming you could actually enforce it)?
Right, so at best, you can argue that economic growth allows some of these quality increases, but it doesn't cause them. Producers would be happy going along at lower costs rather than increasing standards if regulation didn't force the issue.
