“The commercialization of Medicine is the result of a little known 1972 unanimous Supreme Court decision known as Goldfarb. This decision ruled that Medicine (and Law) were no longer to be considered learned professions but were to be considered “ordinary purveyors of commerce.”13 Right after the Goldfarb decision the Federal Trade Commission sued the American Medical Association successfully and removed one of its most important Principles of Medical Ethics which was a restatement of the Hippocratic Oath.14 Both of these Supreme Court decisions were intended to lower health care costs. Ironically they did not lower costs. Health care costs have increased dramatically since their enactment.”
