Benjamin Rush thought about it (Founding Father of the United States, signed the Declaration of Independence and served in the Continental Congress)Posted by Silkie (here)
There's the separation of church and state. How about the separation of medicine and state? It would never fly, of course, but I like to think about it.
“The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic. … Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers.”
